Many of our Hebrew Roots friends claim that believers in Jesus are “grafted into Israel,” or have been made citizens in the commonwealth of Israel. One teacher says, “We’re not Christians, we’re not Jews, we are Israel.” Many Torah-keepers claim that once you come to faith in Jesus, you’re no longer a Gentile. This is a topic that breeds a lot of confusion. What are we grafted into? What does it mean to say "we are Israel'? In this video, we untangle this issue and try to gain some clarity on what it means for believers in Jesus to be grafted in. And we do so by tracing the evolution of the name “Israel” in the Bible,. Because we need to use Scripture’s definition of that word, not our own.
