By no        means! Rather, through their trespass salvation has come to the        Gentiles, so as to make Israel jealous. Now if their trespass        means riches for the world, and if their failure means riches        for the Gentiles, how much more will their full inclusion mean!               Now I am speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an        apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry in order somehow        to make my fellow Jews jealous, and thus save some of them. For        if their rejection means the reconciliation of the world, what        will their acceptance mean but life from the dead? If the dough        offered as firstfruits is holy, so is the whole lump, and if the        root is holy, so are the branches.               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, 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. Then you will        say, “Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.”        That is true. They were broken off because of their unbelief,        but you stand fast through faith. So do not become proud, but        fear. For if God did not spare the natural branches, neither        will he spare you. Note then the kindness and the severity of        God: severity toward those who have fallen, but God’s kindness        to you, provided you continue in his kindness. Otherwise you too        will be cut off. And even they, if they do not continue in their        unbelief, will be grafted in, for God has the power to graft        them in again. For if you were cut from what is by nature a wild        olive tree, and grafted, contrary to nature, into a cultivated        olive tree, how much more will these, the natural branches, be        grafted back into their own olive tree.               Lest you be wise in your own sight, I do not want you to be        unaware of this mystery, brothers: a partial hardening has come        upon Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. And        in this way all Israel will be saved, as it is written,               “The Deliverer will come from Zion, he will banish ungodliness        from Jacob”;               “and this will be my covenant with them when I take away their        sins.”” (Romans 11:11–27, ESV)              --       Have you heard the good news Christ died for our sins (†), and God       raised Him from the dead?              That Christ died for our sins shows we're sinners who deserve the death       penalty. That God raised Him from the dead shows Christ's death       satisfied God's righteous demands against our sin (Romans 3:25; 1 John       2:1-2). This means God can now remain just, while forgiving you of your       sins, and saving you from eternal damnation.              On the basis of Christ's death and resurrection for our sins, call on       the name of the Lord to save you: "For 'everyone who calls on the name       of the Lord will be saved'" (Romans 10:13, ESV).              https://christrose.news/salvation              To automatically receive daily Bible teaching updates with colorful       images and website formatting, subscribe to my feed in a client like       Thunderbird:              https://www.christrose.news/feeds/posts/default              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
