Galatians 6:16 - The identity of the "Israel of God"

Galatians 6:16 - The identity of the "Israel of God"

  • Technical
  • Andreas J. Köstenberger

Who is the “Israel of God” in Galatians 6:16? The understanding of this passage has an important bearing on the question of the relationship between Israel and the church. Rather than viewing the verse through a pre-existing systematic-theological grid, Paul’s reference to the “Israel of God” ought to be studied first and foremost in the context of the entire epistle. Special attention need to be given to his anti-Judaizing polemic. Even a larger framework is given by the work of Christ and its implications for the new covenant church community.

The cultivation and manifestation of Christian affection between the people of God is a far more weighty argument with unbelievers than any apologetics. Arthur W. Pink
