Grafted Into God's Tree

When we have been chosen by God, we can become proud. We can be tricked into thinking that God's blessing comes because we must have done something right. We can be tempted to think that God will never cut anyone off, so we engage in a lifestyle and legacy of sin.
God is severe. God does cut off. So we should fear him and marvel at his kindness because in Christ God has joined we Gentiles into his chosen people.
