STUDIES IN ROMANS

LESSON 52

LESSON OF THE BRANCHES


Romans 11:16-21 (KJV)


16 For if the first fruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches. 17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert grafted in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree; 18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. 19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in. 20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: 21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.

Romans 11:16-21 (CEB)


16 But if part of a batch of dough is offered to God as holy, the whole batch of dough is holy too. If a root is holy, the branches will be holy too. 17 If some of the branches were broken off, and you were a wild olive branch, and you were grafted in among the other branches and shared the root that produces the rich oil of the olive tree, 18 then don’t brag like you’re better than the other branches. If you do brag, be careful: it’s not you that sustains the root, but it’s the root that sustains you. 19 You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in.” 20 Fine. They were broken off because they weren’t faithful, but you stand only by your faithfulness.[a] So don’t think in a proud way; instead be afraid. 21 If God didn’t spare the natural branches, he won’t spare you either.

1.    HOLINESS AFFECTS IT ALL V. 16


2.    BRANCHES BROKEN OFF (ISRAEL) V.17A


3.    BRANCHES GRAFTED IN (US) V. 17B


4.    SUSTENNANCE COMES FROM THE ROOT V. 17C


5.    BOAST NOT V. 18


6.    BROKEN BRANCHES BECAUSE OF UNBELIEF V. 20A


7.    GRAFTED BRANCHES STAND ONLY BY FAITH V. 20B


8.    WALK WITH CAUTION V. 20C


9.    IF GOD DIDN’T SPARE THE NATURAL BRANCHES, HE WON’T SPARE YOU EITHER. V. 21


WE WERE INCLUDED, BUT WE CAN BE EXCLUDED IF WE ABANDON OUR FAITH AND THE JEWISH PEOPLE CAN BE BROUGHT BACK TO GOD IF THEY EXERCIZE FAITH IN CHRIST.
