"Promised land and the Jewish people"
Who are the Jewish people, and what is the promised land?
The Hebrew nation of the Old Testament (old covenant) and the promised land were symbols or types of the spiritual realities God was trying to convey.
The promised land was the Kingdom of God that Christ would establish when he redeemed mankind. AFter Jesus established the New Covenant, the Jewish people became the Christian people--the Chosen became those who believed and trusted in Christ.
FOR HE IS NOT A JEW WHICH IS ONE OUTWARDLY
Romans 2:28,29
28: For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
29: 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.
IF YOU ARE IN CHRIST YOU ARE ABRAHAM'S SEED
Galatians 3:28,29
"27": For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
"28": There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
"29": And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. |
