How does righteousness relate to spiritual Israel?

Answered in 1 source

Righteousness pertains to spiritual Israel, the collective body of believers justified by Christ's righteousness.

The sermon points out that true righteousness is found within the context of spiritual Israel—the collective body of the elect redeemed through Christ. This spiritual nation is characterized by its members being made righteous through faith in Jesus, who is the righteous King. Unlike earthly nations that may seek righteousness through moral law or political means, spiritual Israel understands that it is only through Christ’s sacrificial work that one can attain true righteousness. This emphasizes the eternal nature and the unshakeable state of God’s kingdom.
