“So you see that God is kind, but he can also be very strict. He punishes those who stop following him. But he is kind to you, if you continue trusting in his kindness. If you don’t continue depending on him, you will be cut off from the tree.”

“You might say, “Branches were broken off so that I could be joined to their tree.”
That is true. But those branches were broken off because they did not believe. And you continue to be part of the tree only because you believe.
Don’t be proud, but be afraid. If God did not let the natural branches of that tree stay, he will not let you stay if you stop believing.
And if the Jews will believe in God again, he will accept them back. He is able to put them back where they were.”

“So this is what has happened: The people of Israel wanted God’s blessing, but they did not all get it. The people he chose did get his blessing, but the others became hard and refused to listen to him.
As the Scriptures say, “God caused the people to fall asleep.” Isaiah 29:10
“God closed their eyes so that they could not see, and he closed their ears so that they could not hear. This continues until now.” Deuteronomy 29:4”

““Lord, they have killed your prophets and destroyed your altars. I am the only prophet still living, and they are trying to kill me now.”
But what answer did God give to Elijah? God said, “I have kept for myself seven thousand men who have never given worship to Baal.”
It is the same now. God has chosen a few people by his grace.
And if he chose them by grace, then it is not what they have done that made them his people. If they could be made his people by what they did, his gift of grace would not really be a gift.”

“Then Isaiah is bold enough to say this for God: “The people who were not looking for me— they are the ones who found me. I made myself known to those who did not ask for me.” Isaiah 65:1”
