That is why it depends on faith, in order that the promise may rest on grace and be guaranteed to all his offspring – not only to the adherent of the law, but also to the one who shares the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all...
Romans 4:16 ESV
The Children of Abraham consist of all those who believe in God's grace made manifest in Yeshua, whether they were born as Jews, Christians, or pagans. But that doesn't mean that the natural born children of Israel are no longer counted among Israel. How else could Paul, speaking of *unfaithful* Jews, say "They are Israelites, and to them belong the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the worship, and the promises."?
Believing gentiles are grafted into the Ekklesia of Israel, not the other way around.
