Romans 11:11 (KJV)
I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.
Contrary to the doctrine of the Calvinists, I am confident that God has no desire that any should “fall.” There is no one beyond God’s love. There is no one God would not receive to Himself.
Whether Jew or Gentile, what is true of one is true of all. All have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Christ died for all. Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Here is the crux of the situation, though: God only accepts us by the election of grace. No amount of work can save, and no part of grace can be of works.
So God
- blinds the eyes,
- diminishes the riches,
- casts away the traditional people of God,
- and breaks off the branches—
all to provoke them to jealousy and bring them, eventually, to grace.
That is the plan of God, the will of God, the election of God.
Grace, not works.
Have you felt like you’ve been cast away? Have you wondered if you may not be among the elect?
Fear not.
Ephesians 2:8–9 (KJV)
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Not of works, lest any man should boast.
It is not of you. It is of God, and it is for everyone.
Just accept this grace, this gift. Just believe His promise.
Romans 6:23 (KJV)
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
- It’s not up to you to believe.
- It’s not up to you to work up faith.
- It’s not up to you to turn over a new leaf.
It’s only up to you to accept the gift of God of eternal life.
And God will do anything to bring you to the place where you will accept it.
