Rom 11:13-36

  • we are the wild olive shoot
    • grafted in among others (the original)
    • -> do not boast
      • it is not us who supports the root, but the other way around
      • for if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either
  • Do not be arrogant, but be afraid
  • God's kindness vs. sternness:
    • kind to those who believe
    • stern to those who fall
    • -> this applies to Israelites and Gentiles alike
  • All Israel will be saved
    • when the full number of the Gentiles has come in
  • Appreciate the depth and riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God!
    • Who has known the mind of the Lord?
      • or who has been his counselor?
    • Who has ever given to God, that God should repay him?
  • all things are
    • from him
    • through him
    • to him
  • To him be the glory forever!
