The Bible describes the Israel of God as a spiritual people chosen by God, representative of those who believe in Christ.
In Galatians 6:15-16, the Apostle Paul identifies the true Israel of God as those who have been transformed into new creatures through faith in Christ. Paul elaborates on this theme in Romans 9, where he indicates that not all who are of Israel are truly Israel. The true Israel consists of those who are children of the promise, believing in Christ and thus receiving the adoption and blessings from God. This spiritual Israel is united in Christ, breaking down barriers between Jew and Gentile.
