Being part of spiritual Israel signifies belonging to God's covenant people, embraced by His grace and destined for salvation.
To be part of spiritual Israel means to be included in God's covenant promises and to be considered among His chosen people. Throughout scripture, Israel is seen as the embodiment of God's people characterized by faith. As the sermon emphasizes, this spiritual lineage is fulfilled in those who trust in Christ for salvation. Thus, believers from all backgrounds, who are incorporated into the body of Christ, are actualized as spiritual Israel. This status is a source of great comfort and assurance, reaffirming that God’s covenant is not limited by ethnicity or national identity but is extended to all who sincerely seek Him in faith, thereby granting them the privileges and responsibilities of being His chosen ones.
