Romans 11:16-36

Far be it from me that I knowingly not fulfil promises.
Case in point is a post of 21 verses
I realise it's quite a lot of verses to go through
I will do my best in highlighting what I believe to be the juicier flesh of the whole body
Firstly, it’s addressing those who abide in Christ.
I should not look down on those who once were of the house I now call mine. They have what one may call the legal right to come into that house once again- their parent still identifies with them. They share the same DNA. Yes they may have been cut off but it will be much easier for them to trace back their roots and come into that house again. You only stay there due to your faith. How more able are you to keep up with the demands of the house owner than the ones who grew up in that house.
Yes stay there with fear for you are but a grafted-in branch. If you were to err would the house owner be willing to overlook the fact that you were not born in that house?
Look at what happened to those who misbehaved who were born in that house. Stand firm on your faith and not look down on those who’ve fallen off- they are not fallen forever- they are waiting for the appointed time for them to be grafted back in.
The gifts and calling of God are without repentance. Never say because one has not been saved they cannot tell you what is right from wrong. Gifts from God are not on merit- His grace.
Yes we can only wonder at His ways.
His mind truly is unsearchable. The one thing we can all agree on without dispute is that He loves us. Still He loves us in spite of what we are today or where we were yesterday.
He loves us still. Amen.
