Paragraph 1. THE CHURCH IN GOD’S PLAN
762
The remote preparation for this gathering together of the People of God begins
when he calls Abraham and promises that he will become the father of a great
people.157 Its immediate preparation begins with Israel’s election as
the People of God. By this election, Israel is to be the sign of the future gathering
of All nations.158 But the prophets accuse Israel of breaking the
covenant and behaving like a prostitute. They announce a new and eternal
covenant. “Christ instituted this New Covenant.”159
