God's definition of a New Covenant Jew and the New Covenant Seed of Abraham: God's gives us a clear definition of His New Covenant People--the real Choosen People of God. Jesus Christ was the Seed of Abraham and the Seed of David to whom God made His promises. Everyone who has faith in Jesus enters into the seed of Abraham through their faith in Jesus. What a glorious redemption!! Through our faith in Jesus, God recreates us into the Sons and daughters of God--God's New Jerusalem and Daughter of Zion. All the promises of God are "in Him(Jesus) yea, and in Him Amen, unto the glory of God by us(Chritians)"2Cor. 1:20 This means that all the promises of the Old Covenant belong to God's New Covenant Israel. In Romans, the Holy Spirit says: ----------------------------- 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. Rom.2:28,29 ----------------------------- In Galatains, the Holy Spirit says: ----------------------------- 29: And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. Gal.3:29 ------------------------------ In Philippians, the Holy Spirit says: ------------------------------ 2: Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision(Judaizers or modern Judaism). 3: For we(Christians) are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh. Phil.3:3 ------------------------------ In 1Peter, the Holy Spirit says: ------------------------------ 9: But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: 10: Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy. 1Pet.2:9,10
