God Has Not Forgotten His People (continued)
22So you see that God is kind, but he can also be very strict. God punishes those
people that stop following him. But God is kind to you, if you continue following
in his kindness. If you don't continue following him, you will be cut off [from
the tree]. 23And if the Jews will believe in God again, then God will accept the
Jews back again. God is able to put them back where they were. 24It is not natural
for a wild branch to become part of a good tree. But you non-Jews are like a branch
cut from a wild olive tree. And you were joined to a good olive tree. But those
Jews are like a branch that grew from the good tree. So surely they can be joined
to their own tree again.


25I want you to understand this secret truth, brothers [and sisters]. This truth
will help you understand that you don't know everything. The truth is this: Part
of Israel* has been made stubborn. But that will change when enough non-Jews have
come to God. 26And that is how all Israel will be saved. It is written [in the Scriptures*]:
"The Savior will come from Zion*; He will take away all evil from the family of
Jacob.* 27And I will make this agreement with those people when I take away their
sins." (Isaiah 59:20-21; 27:9) 28The Jews refuse to accept the Good News,* so they
are God's enemies. This has happened to help you non-Jews. But the Jews are still
God's chosen people. So God loves them very much. God loves them because of [the
promises he made to] their fathers. 29God never changes his mind about the people
he calls and the things he gives them. And God never takes back his call to the
people. 30At one time you refused to obey God. But now you have received mercy,
because those people (the Jews) refused to obey. 31And now the Jews refuse to obey,
because God showed mercy to you. But this happened so that they can also receive
mercy from God. 32All people have refused to obey God. God has put all people together
as people that don't obey him, so that God can show mercy to all people.

Praise to God
33Yes, God's riches are very great! God's wisdom and knowledge have no end! No person
can explain the things God decides. No person can understand God's ways. 34Like
the Scripture* says, "Who knows the mind of the Lord? Who is able to give God advice?"
(Isaiah 40:13) 35"Who has ever given God anything? God owes nothing to any person."
(Job 41:11) 36Yes, God made all things. And everything continues through God and
for God. To God be the glory forever! Amen.
Footnotes: Israel The Jewish nation (people). Scripture(s) Holy Writings--the Old
Testament. Zion Another name for Jerusalem, the city of God's people. Jacob Father
of the twelve family groups of Israel. Good News The news that God has made a way
for people to have their sins forgiven and live with him forever.
