Summary

In Romans 11:23–24, Paul continues his arguments to prove that the Lord is not done with the nation of Israel. In this sermon on Romans 11:23–24 titled “Regrafting of the Jews,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones points out the three previous arguments in the beginning of the chapter for review and explains two more arguments in these verses. The first is based on the power of God; He is able to do anything. This means that the Lord is able to regraft the Jews back into His fold. Paul is continuing his illustration of the branches and roots of a tree. The Lord may have chosen to cut off the nation of Israel, but that does not mean that He cannot once again restore them. The second argument is in light of what God has done to the Gentiles. Because the Lord chose to bring salvation to the Gentiles, this is proof that He can also restore the Jews once again. Dr. Lloyd-Jones explains that it was even harder to graft in the Gentiles, so how much more would the Lord be willing and able to once again regraft His chosen people. As a final reminder, the Christian should always be aware that they are part of the branches that are growing and fruitful, lest they also are cut off.

0:00.0	I want to read to you the words found in Paul's Epistle to the Romans in chapter 11, reading
0:06.7	from the beginning of verse 23 to the end of verse 32, from verse 23 to 32 in the 11th chapter
0:15.4	of the Epistle to the Romans.
0:17.9	And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in.
0:22.9	For God is able to graft them in again.
0:26.1	For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature,
0:30.8	and were it graft contrary to nature into a good olive tree,
0:35.1	how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be grafted into
0:40.7	their own olive tree?
0:43.0	For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should
0:47.7	be wise in your own conceits, that blindness in part is happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles become in.
0:58.0	And so all Israel shall be saved. As it is written, there shall come out of Zion the deliverer
1:05.0	and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob. For this is my covenant unto them when I shall take away their
1:12.6	sins.
1:13.6	As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes, but as touching the election,
1:19.6	they are beloved for the Father's sakes, for the gifts and calling of God are without
1:25.6	repentance.
1:26.6	For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained
1:32.2	mercy through their unbelief, even so have these also now not believed that through your mercy
1:40.0	they also may obtain mercy. For God hath concluded them all in unbelief that he might have mercy upon all.
1:50.2	Well, obviously, I'm not proposing to deal with all that tonight.
1:55.3	But I have read those verses to you because they constitute a kind of subsection of this main section of this
