Welcome to the Bible Study. I'm Stephen Lawson, president of One Passion Ministries.

And each week I will teach verse by verse through the passage of scripture

so that you can better understand the word of God

and put it into practice in your life. Join me now as we look together into this

section of the Bible. Welcome to our study. We've got a lot to cover, a lot to cover and we're only going to

be looking at one verse. So we're going to be scuba divers on this verse, but we're also going to cover the entire

New Testament on the essential doctrine that's taught in this passage, which is a critically

important truth. So let me begin in a critically important truth.

So let me begin in a word of prayer.

Father, as we come now to look into your word, we ask that you would give us eyes to see the truth that's taught in your word and I pray for these men that you'll use

your word to conform them yet further into the image of Christ.

Fill me with your spirit, put your hand upon me for good

that I could be an instrument used this morning

in Christ's name.

Amen. Okay, take your Bibles.

Romans chapter 11 and we're going to look at just verse 22 because this is a very important verse for us to understand.

So Romans 11, verse 22,

as we continue our walk through the book of Romans.

The Apostle Paul writes,

behold then, the kindness and severity of God

to those who fell severity. of God's you continue in his kindness, otherwise you also will be cut off.

So what does this mean?
