Romans chapter 11

Am I A Part Of The Body Of Christ Or Not?

Paul addresses questions regarding being a part of the Body of Christ.

Did God reject his chosen people, the Jews, since some refused to follow God by faith in Jesus? Of course not. The door is always open to the Jews. But it’s their choice just as it is our choice to receive Jesus or reject him.

Some Jew’s Hearts were hardened cuz they were adamant to pursue that which satisfied their sin nature.

Did they stumble to the point that it would be impossible for them to be recovered in faith? No it’s not impossible. The Jews were God’s chosen people and became a part of the Olive tree, the Body of Christ. But because of their unbelief, they were removed. Then the non-Jews, who were not originally God’s chosen people, heard the news of salvation by faith in Jesus and many believed and were grafted into the Olive Tree, the Body Of Christ.

Doesn’t matter if you grew up in a Christian home or was raised in a Muslim Nation. The gospel message is available to all who believe by faith and follow Jesus. It’s not guaranteed to anyone. Each person gets to make a decision to follow or not follow Jesus. God, help me follow you daily and forgive me when I fail. May I never think I can live however I want because I’m “saved”.
