Text: Romans 11:21-24
5 August 2018

GOD DID NOT SPARE ISRAEL

Israel is called the “natural branches” (Romans 11:2)

1. He corrected

2. He chastised

3. He seeks cleanse

4. He seeks to draw them back to Himself

This is so evidently displayed in the Prophetic Books

GOD WILL NOT SPARE THE GENTILES TOO

Gentiles are engrafted branches… a wild olive tree (Romans 11:17)

1. Correction

2. Chastisement

3. Cleansing

4. Restoring

The main instruments… the Apostles of Christ!
Cf. 1 and 2 Corinthians; Hebrews 12:1-11

THE GOODNESS AND SEVERITY OF GOD

1. Severity
On those who fell – Israel (Romans 11:22a)

2. Goodness
On those who believed- Gentiles (Romans 11:22b)

ADMONITION

1. To continue with goodness (Romans 11:22c)

2. Or face the danger of being “cut off” (Romans 11:22d)

RE-GRAFTING OF ISRAEL

1. If they do not continue with unbelief (Romans 11:23a)

2. They can be grafted back in Romans 11:23b

3. God is able to graft them back in Romans 11:23c

STANDING IN AWE

1. If a wild olive can be successfully grafted (Romans 11:24a)

2. How much more… the natural branches (Romans 11:24b)
