Paul is writing to BELIEVERS , explaining the TREE, the gospel how one is grafted in and how one is cast out .
NOW just see HOW simple this is . I wont need greek, I wont need exergis or hermanutics . JUST child like simplicity .
Chapter eleven . lets start in verse nineteen. now watch how simple this is . It wont take a scholar , or a renown mighty one to twist it . ANY small, humble JESUS loving child can see how plain this is.
ready.
You(BELIEVERS), will say then, the branches (unbelieving jews ) were broken off , that I might be graffed in . WELL because of UNBELIEF they were broken off, and YOU stand by FAITH
, BE not HIGHMINDED but FEAR . FOR IF GOD did not spare the natural branches , TAKE HEED lest he spare NOT YOU .
Let us stop and examine that . PAUL is telling THE BELIEVERS IN JESUS about HOW the UNBELIEVING JEWS were BROKEN out of that tree. DOES this sound like a unbelieving jew
IS saved . NO . SO how on earth can this not be a salvational warning to the believers . I MEAN if an unbelieving jew is was broken off. AND paul tells THE BELIEVERS that are , have BEEN
GRAFTED IN , TO TAKE HEED. NOT be highminded LEST YOU TOO BE BROKEN OFF. ANY BRANCH broken OFF is not SAVED PEROID .
SEE HOW EASY THAT IS .
Lets go on now
verse twenty two . BEHOLD church , therefore the goodness and severity OF GOD . On them which fell SEVERITY . but towards you GOODNESS. IF YOU CONTINUE IN HIS GOODNESS
OTHERWISE you will be CUT OFF, AND they(the unbelieving jews )also , if they abide NOT in unbelief , CAN BE GRAFTED BACK IN .
THE WHOLE EVENT is showing the both the mercy OF and severity OF GOD . towards ALL. IF anyone remains NOT in darkness but comes to Faith in CHRIST they are grafted INTO that tree.
BUT , BUT , as JESUS once said , IF A MAN continues not in me, IF a branch continues NOT IN ME , ITS CUT OFF , its cast out .
THIS IS REAL . AND ITS SERIOUS . MEN can and DO FALL AWAY . PUAL KNEW IT and THUS REMINDED NOT to be highminded , but fear
and THAT we MUST CONTINUE IN HIS GOODNESS, CHRIST, OR WE WILL BE CUT OFF. and this matches the message to the seven churches .
Bothe peter and paul warned HOW this can happen. BOTH talk about HOW one can have come , tasted, even been made partakers of that righteousness AND THEN FALL AWAY.
IT CAN HAPPEN . IT DOES HAPPEN. SIN is the monster , that will choke the word RIGHT OUT . it chokes the first love , IT KILLS the walk.
PAUL warned , FOLLOW the SPIRIT , DONT HEED THE Flesh. THEY WERE WAY MORE SERIOUS than men today . THEY never LET the church take their walk FOR GRANTED .
WHAT they did teach as GRANTED , IS THIS . JESUS ONLY SAVES and we must continue IN HIM TILL THE END to remain saved . FACT . FACT . but we don't hear this today .
DO WE. We don't hear WORK out your own salvation with fear and trembling , FOR JESUS is in us, but if we don't HEED THE SPIRIT , we end up in the location OF WHAT we followed.
FACT. We are the servants to WHOM we obey . NO EXCPETIONS . whether of sin unto DEATH , and that means DEATH , or of obedience unto RIGHTEOUSNESS.
WE better not be highminded , we better take our walk SERIOUS and HEED HIM at all times .
