How do we know spiritual Israel is true according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

The distinction between physical and spiritual Israel is affirmed through various New Testament scriptures.

The assertion that spiritual Israel is true can be found in multiple passages. Romans 9:6 clarifies that not all physical descendants of Israel are considered Israel before God, pointing to a remnant chosen by grace. The Apostle Paul further elaborates on this in Romans 2:28-29, where he states that true Jews are those whose hearts have been circumcised by the Spirit, rather than those merely following external rites. In Galatians 6:16, Paul refers to the 'Israel of God,' indicating that true Israel consists of those who follow the teachings of Christ and demonstrate the fruit of the Spirit. These texts support the truth of spiritual Israel as the fulfillment of God's promise to His people.
