“Those who have not yet received the Gospel are related to the People of
God in various ways.”325
The relationship of the Church with the Jewish People. When she delves into her
own mystery, the Church, the People of God in the New Covenant, discovers her
link with the Jewish People,326 “the first to hear the Word of
God.”327 The Jewish faith, unlike other non-Christian religions,
is already a response to God’s revelation in the Old Covenant. To the Jews
“belong the sonship, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the
worship, and the promises; to them belong the patriarchs, and of their race,
according to the flesh, is the Christ”,328 “for the gifts and
the call of God are irrevocable.”329
