Paul's Epistle to the Romans, Restoration of the Nation Israel, Romans 11:22-32

Paul's Epistle to the Romans, Restoration of the Nation Israel, Romans 11:22-32

Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God:

So, in the parable of the olive tree, we see two great contrasting aspects of God’s character—His goodness and His severity. His severity is on display in the removal of Israel from the favored-nation status. His goodness is seen in His turning to the Gentiles with the gospel (see [1]Acts 13:46; [2]18:6). But that goodness must not be taken for granted. The Gentiles could also be cut off if they do not maintain the faith which the Savior found during His earthly ministry (see [3]Matt. 8:10; [4]Luke 7:9).
