In fact, this is the only place in the Gospel of John where the word "Israelite" is used.
...In Psalm 32:2, it says... "Blessed is the one who finds no iniquity in the Lord, whose spirit is without deceit."

…We too…want to emulate Nathanael's purity, honesty, and sincere devotion to God 😄

…Shalom 😃
