GLORY TO HIM IN ALL THINGS

 

Romans 11:36: “For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen.”

Some day all believers will see and live the reality of what Paul is saying. In a nutshell, so to speak, all the glory belongs to God. We should thank Him daily for His mercy and grace; grace is unmerited favor, i.e., we didn’t deserve to be saved, then, as now.

 

We Gentiles have so much to be thankful for, salvation came to us when His people (Israel) rejected Jesus. Paul uses an analogy of grafted branches to explain this particular point. Branches (Israel) were broken off and Gentiles were grafted in. The day will come, however, when He will graft Israel back into the tree.

 

This chapter can be confusing, I have tried to simplify it and not take anything away from what Paul is saying. I recommend your reading this chapter to hear all of what Paul is saying to both the Jew and the Gentile.
