2 Peter 3:15 Bear in mind that our Lord’s patience means salvation, just as our dear brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom that God gave him.
2 Timothy 3:14 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned, and how from infancy you have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
Jesus told his disciples to testify about him, see John 15:27. Part of testifying is writing down God’s Truth. “And you also must testify, for you have been with me from the beginning.”
Oh how I love the Word of God!
Do not just read the word do it.
Is the Church the Body of Christ Israel ? Yes no question about it and here's why ? Christ and His Body the Church are One 1 Cor 12:12 and Eph 5 this cannot be denied. And scripture plainly states or indicates plainly that Christ is Israel Isa 49:3
3 And said unto me, Thou art my servant, O Israel, in whom I will be glorified.
"... I have my own private opinion that there is no such a thing as
preaching Christ and him crucified, unless you preach what now-a-days is
called Calvinism. I have my own ideas, and those I always state boldly. It is
a nickname to call it Calvinism; Calvinism is the gospel, and nothing else."

Accurately stated!
Christ is Israel, and His Church, His Body Chosen in Him Eph. 1:4-7 is also called Israel; they bear the same Name and are One.
The Israel of God is a Spiritual Nation comprised of those born of the Seed of Christ, the seed of Abraham Gal. 3:16, 29 whether jew or gentile, which were Promised Salvation Is. 45:17.
John 1:13
Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Rom. 9:8
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.
They consist not of worldly ethnicity according to the flesh, but by the Promise and Power of God, according to His Purpose and Grace given them in Christ Jesus before the world began.
2 Tim. 1:8-9
8 Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God; 9 Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,

Salvation/Eternal life is based upon a Divine Promise, and its unto a certain People, not all mankind. And true God given Faith rests in Gods word of Promise. Now specifically who is it promised to be saved in the Lord with an everlasting salvation according to this scripture Isa 45:17
But Israel shall be saved in the Lord with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end.

The Israel that was Promised to be Saved in the Lord with an Everlasting Salvation according to Is. 45:17 is comprised of all God's Elect, the Election of Grace Rom. 11:5; the Church Christ gave Himself for Eph. 5:25, and His Sheep John 10:11, 15; jew and Gentile from all the nations, all ethnicities of the earth Rev. 14:6: The only World [kosmos] that God Loved and gave His only begotten Son for John 3:16 !
Eph. 1:4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
They're also the Vessels of Mercy which He had afore prepared unto Glory Rom. 9:23.
So God's Elect, in His Eternal Purpose in Christ Eph. 3:11, have always been Saved by His Mercy, even from Everlasting to Everlasting.
Ps. 103:17 But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children;
Titus 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
So the conclusion in this matter, is that Salvation was Promised to a specific Seed, the Seed of Abraham, the Seed of Christ Eph. 1:4; Gal. 3:16, 29; Rom. 4:16.

Christ was raised according to Promise to be a Saviour not to the whole world without exception, but to the world of Israel, a Elect People Acts 13:23
Of this man's seed hath God according to his promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus:
Christ was raised to be a Saviour according to promise to all mankind without exception, thats a lie by men with corrupt minds !
And see if Faith isnt resting in the Promise/word of God, then unfortunately its not biblical faith.

Exactly ! The whole World of Israel Is. 45:17, God's Elect Kingdom whom Christ died and was raised 1 Cor. 15:3-4 in behalf of Acts 13:23, is their Hope Acts 28:20 exclusively, and rests in their God Given Faith Gal. 5:22; Titus 1:1.
Now all the rest of mankind consists of the world that is condemned 1 Cor. 11:32; John 3:18, 36; Mat. 25:41.
Therefore they were never part of the World of Israel which Christ was raised a Saviour unto.
