11:23
Paul then states quite clearly that if the Israelites do not continue in their unbelief, then they will be grafted back into the vine. God has the power to do this, He also has the desire to do this. We believe that no one has fallen so far that they cannot be saved, this also applies to the Jews just as much as it does to the Gentiles.
11:24
In fact, this ought to have been obvious to the Gentiles. For they had been grafted in, even though prior to their hearing and believing they had no connection at all, naturally speaking, with the vine. They were a wild olive branch grafted into the true olive tree. How much more will branches from the true olive tree be grafted back in if they repent and believe. Salvation is by faith, faith is the righteousness of God that has been revealed in the gospel.
