True. The church is everyone throughout time who is justified by faith in God after the manner of Abraham and who, because of that faith, is grafted into the vine, as Paul said, a son of Abraham, whether Greek or Jew or barbarian, male or female, heir of the promises God made to Abraham when he promised him to make him a father of many nations. The Law came later 1. as a formal recognition of the covenant God made with the descendants of Abraham whom he rescued from Egypt, 2. as a way to make man conscious of sin and the necessity that blood must be shed for the forgiveness of sin, and 3. as a way, like a school teacher, to lead mankind to Christ. The church hasn't replaced anyone or any group of people.
