Paragraph 2. THE CHURCH – PEOPLE OF GOD, BODY OF CHRIST, TEMPLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

781
“At all times and in every race, anyone who fears God and does what is
right has been acceptable to him. He has, however, willed to make men holy and
save them, not as individuals without any bond or link between them, but rather
to make them into a people who might acknowledge him and serve him in holiness.
He therefore chose the Israelite race to be his own people and established a
covenant with it. He gradually instructed this people…. All these things,
however, happened as a preparation for and figure of that new and perfect
covenant which was to be ratified in Christ . . . the New Covenant in his
blood; he called together a race made up of Jews and Gentiles which would be
one, not according to the flesh, but in the Spirit.”²⁰¹
