This blog and it's accompanying web site www.youareisrael.com (which is still under development) have been developed with a singular purpose....to demonstrate that the true Nation of Israel, both by faith and by promise, is the entire collection of believers from around the world that call on the name of Jesus Christ as Lord and as Savior.
Galatians 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
