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.
