Grafted Back

Romans 11:22-24 ESV

22 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. 23 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. 24 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.

Again we see Paul warning us not to fall away, but continue in our faith. We have seen Israel fall and get back up before, crying out to the Lord in their affliction, and God responding with mercy.

Jesus is the vine, we are the branches. Pruning is an ongoing process.

The Lord has the power to graft them in again, in the same grace as we were grafted.
