A mistake some Christians make is to interpret everything in a carnal manner. I.e. thinking that when God refers to His chosen people Israel, He is referring to the flesh and the literal DNA line of descent from Abraham.

God speaks in a spiritual manner. It is more useful to expand your thinking and understand that Israel refers not to the flesh but to spiritual descendants who followed the Commandments and continue to follow them, and who also follow Jesus Christ.

See Romans Chapter 11 or search Bible for the word "graft" :

But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, although a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing root of the olive tree, 18 do not be arrogant toward the branches. If you are, remember it is not you who support the root, but the root that supports you. 19 Then you will say, โ€œBranches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.โ€ 20 That is true. They were broken off because of their unbelief, but you stand fast through faith. โ€ฆ
