What does the Bible say about the identity of God's people?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that God's true people are identified by grace through faith in Christ, not by their ethnic background.

The identity of God's people is not determined by ethnic or cultural lineage but by the spiritual rebirth given by God. Romans 9:6 states that not all Israel is Israel, emphasizing that true children of God are those born of the promise rather than the flesh. This distinction illustrates that God’s elect are made one in Christ, regardless of whether they are Jew or Gentile. Galatians 3:26-29 further affirms this by stating that in Christ, there is neither Jew nor Greek, but all are one in Him, highlighting the unifying work of Christ’s redemptive work on the cross.
