 are fully embraced in the same way that Jewish people are embraced when we accept God's gift through accepting Jesus as Messiah. And so to be part of the remnant, to be a true Israelite in the sense that Paul is using this term, you need to be a physical descendant of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and you need to be born again by the Spirit of God. And so I believe that in Romans chapter 9, Paul's talking about Messianic Jews or Jewish believers.
