The Olive Tree Analogy
Romans 11:17-24
17
But if some of the branches were broken off, and thou, being a wild olive, wast grafted in among them, and didst become partaker with them of the root of the fatness of the olive tree;
18
glory not over the branches: but if thou gloriest, it is not thou that bearest the root, but the root thee.
19
Thou wilt say then, Branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.
20
Well; by their unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by thy faith. Be not highminded, but fear:
21
for if God spared not the natural branches, neither will he spare thee.
22
Behold then the goodness and severity of God: toward them that fell, severity; but toward thee, God’s goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
23
And they also, if they continue not in their unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.
24
For if thou wast cut out of that which is by nature a wild olive tree, and wast grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree; how much more shall these, which are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?
