The Church: Fulfilment, Not Replacement of Israel

What is the relationship between Israel and the Church? Join us as we explore God’s covenant promises and their fulfilment in Christ.

The relationship between Israel and the Church is an important question in biblical theology and interpretation. How we understand this relationship shapes our interpretation of God’s covenant promises and redemptive plan. Dispensationalists maintain a distinction between Israel and the Church, arguing that God’s promises to Israel remain tied to the ethnic nation. In contrast, the Reformed perspective sees the Church as the fulfilment—not the replacement—of Israel, emphasizing the continuity of God’s promises through Christ to a spiritual people united by faith. This is a brief summary of the teaching of the Word of God. It does not claim to be an exhaustive study on this subject.
