Christ is not an Israelite or a Jew. He WAS an Israelite/Jew, a descendant of Jacob/Israel by his mother according to his flesh and blood, but when He died, His Israeli/Jewish nature died, and He was resurrected bodily as a Life-Giving Spirit. His mortal, Jewish/Israeli body died and was resurrected as He put on the immortality of the Son of God. That is why in Christ, there is neither Jew nor Gentile.... because the Jewish/Israeli body of Jesus died and was resurrected in power as the Son of God, not the son of Israel.

What does this mean for humanity? Whoever believes and receives Jesus Christ resurrected is also in Christ. Their fleshly nature (Jew or Gentile) accounts for nothing. They have the Spirit of Christ and their soul is in God, so they are neither Jew nor Gentile but Children of God according to the Spirit. Their body of flesh and blood is a body of sin and death. Whether your sinful flesh is Jew or Gentile means nothing, as it will die, just as Jesus' body has, and our bodies will be transformed into the eternal body that is neither Jew nor Gentile but God's.
