Do you have any information on Spiritual Israel?

Dear Star,
Thanks for your question. Yes, we have information on “Spiritual Israel” which I have attached to this email for your further study.
The apostle Paul taught us what it is to be a Spiritual Israelite:
Rom 2:28-29: For he is not a Jew [a spiritual Israelite], which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.”
and again:
Heb 8:7-10: For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second. For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord. For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people.”
and again:
1Co 12:13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.”
and:
Eph 2:18: For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.”
To become a “Spiritual Israelite”, one must receive the Spirit of God through a spiritual baptism. That is how we worship God now – in Spirit and in truth. We who have the Spirit are the Israel which is God’s.
I have attached some good material for you to study that I believe will help.
