In this message from Romans 11, we explore Paul’s powerful image of branches being grafted into an olive tree—a picture of how God’s grace brings both Jews and Gentiles into His family through faith in Jesus Christ. Paul reminds us that salvation is not earned by status, heritage, or works, but is a gift of God’s kindness received only through faith.

As we walk through this passage, we see both the seriousness of rejecting Christ and the abundant hope that anyone—no matter their past—can be grafted in by turning to Him. We are cautioned against pride, called to humility, and urged to rest in God’s mercy.

Whether you feel near or far from God, this passage offers a timely reminder: salvation is by grace through faith, and all who believe in Jesus are welcomed into the nourishing root of His people.
