The True Israel

Truth and error compounded is far more dangerous than falsehood on its own. Hence Paul's strong language concerning the activities of the Judaisers. He states that the desire to get the believers circumcised was glorying in the flesh. Circumcision not uncircumcision avails nothing, but a new creation. Those Jews who were trusting in Christ alone, and who now trust in Christ alone for salvation, they are the Israel of God.
