Grafted In

  • A remnant of God’s choosing (11:5)
  • Salvation has come to the Gentiles (11:11)
  • Became a partaker… of the rich root of the olive tree (11:17)
  • Fear God, for it is by His choice (11:21-22)
  • Natural branches will be grafted back in (11:22)
  • We can’t fully understand God’s plan (11:33)

Cut Off

  • The rest were cast off (11:7)
  • God gave them a spirit of stupor (11:8)
  • Their (Jews) transgression is riches for the world (11:12)
  • May be grafted back in (11:23)

Summary

“Do not be conceited, but fear; for if God did not spare the natural branches, He will not spare you either. Behold then, the kindness and severity of God; to those who fell, severity, but to you, God’s kindness…” (11:20-22)

We are at God’s mercy. We should always be aware and live in response to His grace, realizing that we fully deserve His wrath.
