Romans 11:18
"Boast not against the branches. But if
thou boast, thou bearest not the
root, but the root thee."
"For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches (Rom. 11:16). If some of these branches have been cut off, and you being a wild olive have been grafted in among them, and you have become a sharer in the richness of the root of the olive, "You do not look down boastfully upon the other branches. If you are tempted to act like that, remember you do not bare the root, "the root bears you."
You may say: Branches have been broken off that I may be grafted in. I would say your right but; they have been broken off because of their lack of faith. You and I my friend stand because of faith. We must remember that God did not spare the natural branches, neither will he spare us. we must not become proudly contemptuous, but keep ourselves in godly fear.
Can you see the severity of God. For those who fell comes the severity, on the one's that don't fall comes the kindness of God. Therefore one must not boast but continue in faith, and you will not be cut away.
Amen!
