We know the Church, the Body of Christ is Israel because, Israel is Identified as the Children of God and so is the Church.
Paul when writing to the Romans in Chapter 9 vs 6-8 He identifies Israel as the children of God, observe
6 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:
7 Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.
8 That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.
So one of the Israels in vs six is being Identified as not being the Children of God, meaning the other one is, correct?
And Paul writing to the same Church Identifies gentile believers as being the Children of God,
Rom 8:16,21
The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
referring to the gentiles in Rom 9:26
And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God.
In Galatians, Paul writing to jew and gentile believers, the Church Gal 3:26
For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
1 Jn 3:10
In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother
