Knowing God - He Cuts Off, He Grafts In



Rom 11:22-23
Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.

There is a lot of debate about a believer’s security.  Can they lose their salvation?  Can their name be blotted out?  Can a believer, through sin or other situations, end up having an evil heart of unbelief and depart from the faith?  If we are saved by faith, but a believer no longer believes, is he still saved?  I will not begin to answer these questions here; rather I want us to look at the promise in this verse.  If someone comes away from not believing and believes, they shall be grafted in because GOD is able to graft them in again.  The truth here is about the Lord Himself!  He is able to do this.  He wants us to know that His mercy endures forever and He is willing that none should perish but ALL should come to everlasting life.  Our God loves to forgive, heal and restore.  He loves to make all things new.  What might seem impossible with men, IS possible with God.
