Not all Israel are Israel. The promises are for the children of faith, of whom Abraham is the father of many nations. Bible verses relating the topic. ASV Ro 9:6 But [it is] not as though the word of God hath come to nought. For they are not all Israel, that are of Israel: Ro 9:7 neither, because they are Abrahams seed, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called. Ro 9:8 That is, it is not the children of the flesh that are children of God; but the children of the promise are reckoned for a seed. Ro 9:9 For this is a word of promise, According to this season will I come, and Sarah shall have a son. Ro 9:10 And not only so; but Rebecca also having conceived by one, [even] by our father Isaac-- Ro 9:11 for [the children] being not yet born, neither having done anything good or bad, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth, Ro 9:12 it was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger. Ro 9:13 Even as it is written, Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated. Ro 9:14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid. Ro 9:15 For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion. Ro 9:16 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that hath mercy. Ga 3:11 Now that no man is justified by the law before God, is evident: for, The righteous shall live by faith; Ga 3:12 and the law is not of faith; but, He that doeth them shall live in them. Ga 3:13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us; for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: Ga 3:14 that upon the Gentiles might come the blessing of Abraham in Christ Jesus; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. Ga 3:15 Brethren, I speak after the manner of men: Though it be but a mans covenant, yet when it hath been confirmed, no one maketh it void, or addeth thereto. Ga 3:16 Now to Abraham were the promises spoken, and to his seed. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ. Ga 3:17 Now this I say: A covenant confirmed beforehand by God, the law, which came four hundred and thirty years after, doth not disannul, so as to make the promise of none effect. Ga 3:18 For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no more of promise: but God hath granted it to Abraham by promise. Ga 3:19 What then is the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise hath been made; [and it was] ordained through angels by the hand of a mediator. Ga 3:20 Now a mediator is not [a mediator] of one; but God is one. Ga 3:21 Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could make alive, verily righteousness would have been of the law. Ga 3:22 But the scriptures shut up all things under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe. Ga 3:23 But before faith came, we were kept in ward under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. Ga 3:24 So that the law is become our tutor [to bring us] unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. Ro 4:16 For this cause [it is] of faith, that [it may be] according to grace; to the end that the promise may be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all Ro 4:17 (as it is written, A father of many nations have I made thee) before him whom he believed, [even] God, who giveth life to the dead, and calleth the things that are not, as though they were. Ro 4:18 Who in hope believed against hope, to the end that he might become a father of many nations, according to that which had been spoken, So shall thy seed be. Ro 4:19 And without being weakened in faith he considered his own body now as good as dead (he being about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarahs womb; Ro 4:20 yet, looking unto the promise of God, he wavered not through unbelief, but waxed strong through faith, giving glory to God, Ro 4:21 and being fully assured that what he had promised, he was able also to perform. Ro 4:22 Wherefore also it was reckoned unto him for righteousness.
