How do we know that the distinction between ethnic and spiritual Jews is true?

Answered in 1 source

The distinction is validated by Scripture, particularly in Romans, where Paul emphasizes the inward transformation essential for true worship.

In Romans 2:28-29, Paul asserts that being a Jew is not merely an outward sign of ethnicity but a matter of the heart. This truth is corroborated through the broader narrative of Scripture, which repeatedly emphasizes the necessity of faith and divine transformation for salvation. Christ Himself spoke of the need for spiritual rebirth, highlighting that physical Israel alone does not equate to God's true children. This theological foundation is grounded in God's covenant promises and the necessity of a heart that responds to Him in faith, revealing that all who depend on law without faith are still estranged from God, regardless of their heritage.
