Praise God for your excellent article and explanation of “Justification”.

The entire Bible is about the promised "Seed" (singular)(Christ Jesus the Messiah).

Now to Abraham and his seed (singular = Christ) were the promises made. He (God) saith not, And to seeds, as of many (the Hebrews/Jews); but as of one (singular = Christ), And to thy seed (singular), which is Christ (Galatians 3:16).

Salvation is not by our works of righteousness (good works) but by God’s grace through our faith in Jesus Christ’s sacrifice for our sin on the cross. For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ; for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek (Gentile) (Romans 1:16).

“Know you therefore, that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham (Hebrews/Jews). And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen (Gentiles) through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed (Genesis 12:3)(Genesis 22:18). So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham. (Galatians 3:7-9). The blessing of Abraham came on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ: that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith (Galatians 3:14).

(In Galatians 6:16), the Apostle Paul explains who "the Israel of God" is in the New Testament under the New Covenant "And as many as walk according to this rule (the Holy Scriptures), peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God." This term "the Israel of God" was first applied to Jacob (Genesis 32:28). Esau was a grandson of Abraham, as was Jacob, but Esau never became an Israelite because he rejected God's plan for him. Not all the children of Abraham became Israelites.

The true Israel of God, is made up of all true believers, Jews and GenƟles alike (Romans 2:28-29)(Romans 3)(Romans 4:16)(Romans 9:6-8)(Galatians 3). The Israel of God (is Spiritual) and consists of both Jews and Gentiles who believe and accept the New Covenant which is Salvation through Jesus Christ as the Messiah and Savior. The Israel of God has no earthly physical or geographic location and is in spiritual freedom but is awaiting the New Heavenly Holy Jerusalem which is yet to come. The Israel of God are God's chosen people and Abraham is their spiritual father and they are Abraham's spiritual children (Galatians 3:7). The Israel of God are now God's royal priesthood and holy nation (Matthew 21:42-44)(1 Peter 2:6-9).

The Israel After the Flesh (is Physical) and consists of both Jews and Gentiles (converts to Judaism) who accept only the Old Covenant and reject Salvation through Jesus Christ as the Messiah and Savior (1 Corinthians 10:18). The Israel After the Flesh accepts only the earthly city of Jerusalem and the earthly Nation of Israel and is in spiritual bondage. The Israel after the flesh are not God's chosen people and Abraham is not their spiritual father and they are not Abraham's spiritual children (John 8:30-47).

dare I say, Israel and “jews” in Israel may not even really be Biblical Israel or Jews? This is hard for devout evangelicals to consider, yet we are supposed to study the bible to show ourselves approved unto God and scripture also tells us to rightly divide the bible… I wonder if Christians are being superstitious because in Genesis scripture says "whomever blesses Israel is blessed and whomever curses Israel is cursed by God". Yet…does the biblical Israel exist in this time of the Mystery, this Age of Grace under the Law of Faith, we are now in? I don’t think so…
