The Israel of God is God's true spiritual Israel (God's true Church) that has existed throughout history, spaning both the Old and New Testaments. The Israel of God has always been made up of faithful Jews and faithful Gentiles who truly walk with God, either waiting for, or believing in, His true Messiah, Jesus Christ. Abraham (a Gentile), Moses, Daniel, Peter, Paul, and Luke (another Gentile) were all part of the Israel of God. In the days of Elijah, there was an "Israel after the flesh" which followed Ahab and Jezebel, and yet there was also a faithful "Israel of God" which refused to "bow the knee to the image of Baal" (Rom. 11:4, 5). From the days of Adam, Abel, and Noah, to the time of Moses and "the church in the wilderness" (Acts 7:38), to the last holy saint at the end of the world, God's true Church, the Israel of God, has always been composed of both faithful Jews and Gentiles who have maintained their loyalty to the Lord in the midst of a world filled with false doctrine, apostasy, and sin. | ||||||

This is another detail signifying that there is indeed a difference between the worldly Israel and God's Israel: Galatians 6:29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. Can this be? Is everybody who beleives in Christ, Abraham's seed? So says the scripture! If I am wrong, then I welcome correction, as we must all keep one another from falling. May God Bless! |
