“Therefore, remember that formerly you who are Gentiles by birth and called ‘uncircumcised’ by those who call themselves ‘the circumcision’ (which is done in the body by human hands)— remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ.
“For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, by setting aside in his flesh the law with its commands and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new humanity out of the two, thus making peace, and in one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility. He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near. For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.
“Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.” (Ephesians 2:11-22 NIV)
Before Jesus Christ died on that cross to put our sins to death with him, God had one people, one nation, and they were the Jews who believed in him. But once Jesus gave his life up for us on that cross so that we, by faith in him, can now die with him to sin and walk in obedience to his commands, he destroyed that barrier that stood between Jew and Gentile, and he made us both one people, one nation, by faith in Christ. All Jews who did not believe in Jesus were cut out of Israel, and all Gentiles who believed in Jesus were grafted into Israel, so Israel now includes Jew and Gentile by faith in Christ.
Therefore, the physical nation of people which is called “Israel” is not biblical Israel. They, as a nation, are not God’s chosen people, for they have rejected (as a nation) Jesus Christ as their Messiah and have gone off to follow after other gods. And all who do not believe in Jesus do not worship the same God that Christians do. For the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is Father, Son Jesus Christ, and Holy Spirit. Jesus made it clear that those who rejected him also rejected God the Father, for they are one. All who deny Christ are antichrist, denying the Father and the Son (1 John 2:22).
For what does this say? Those who were Gentiles by birth, who were separate from Christ, they were excluded from citizenship in Israel. But by faith in Christ Jesus they were brought near by the blood of Christ and now they were one with Israel, Jew and Gentile no longer separate, but one people by faith in Jesus. God does not have a Jewish chosen nation and a Christian chosen nation, separate from each other. There is only ONE Israel, the Israel of God, which includes Jew and Gentile who are now both one people, one nation, by faith in Christ. So we are Israel who believe in Christ.
And pay close attention to these words here, for it says that those who were Gentiles by birth, and not Jews, were once foreigners and strangers, but by faith in Christ Jesus they became fellow citizens with God’s people (the saints of God), referring to the Jews who believed in Jesus Christ but also to the biblical nation of Israel. God has only one people, one nation, and it is comprised of both Jew and Gentile by faith in Jesus Christ. We are his holy temple, where he dwells. The temple of God is no longer a physical building. And the Jewish nation called “Israel” is not of God, not God’s chosen people.

I come before You, Lord, my Savior,
With humble heart and crushed in spirit.
I bow before You, I implore You,
Heal my broken heart, I pray.
Love You, Jesus, Lord, my master,
You are the King of my heart.
Lord, purify my heart within me;
Sanctify me, whole within.
Oh, Lord, I long to obey fully
The words You’ve spoken through Your Spirit.
I pray You give me grace and mercy,
Strength and wisdom to obey.
Father God, my heart’s desire,
Won’t You set my heart on fire?
Lord, cleanse my heart of all that hinders
My walk with You, now I pray.
Oh, Jesus, Savior, full of mercy,
My heart cries out for understanding.
I want to follow You in all ways,
Never straying from Your truth.
Holy Spirit, come in power,
Fill me with Your love today.
Lord, mold and make me;
Your hands formed me;
Live Your life through me, I pray.
