What does it mean to be a part of spiritual Israel?

Answered in 1 source

Being a part of spiritual Israel means being included in God's covenant people through faith in Christ, regardless of ethnic background.

Spiritual Israel refers to all believers who are united in faith with Christ, as Paul elaborates in Romans 2:28-29, stating that a true Jew is one inwardly, and circumcision is of the heart, in the spirit. This signifies that ethnicity or physical lineage is irrelevant to one's status before God. Instead, it is faith in Jesus that grants access to the covenant promises. Furthermore, Galatians 3:7 declares, 'Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.' This inclusion underscores the reality that all who trust in Christ, irrespective of their origins, are heirs of God's promise, forming the true Israel of God.
