GOODNESS AND SEVERITY.

Rom_11:19-22

God is Good, but God is also Severe. God is Love, but God is also Light.

1. The Severity of God. He severs from Himself the unbelieving and the denied (Rom_11:17).

2. The Goodness of God. "Toward thee goodness," because you have believed Him (Rom_11:22).

3. The Solemn Lesson Taught.

(1) That Unbelief Severs from the goodness of God (Rom_11:20; Heb_3:19).

(2) That salvation is only by the Grace of God. The goodness of God can never be merited by man.

(3) That Faith Unites to the goodness of God (Rom_11:23).

(4) That we Stand only by faith (Rom_11:20).

(5) That God is able and willing to save All that Believe (Rom_11:23).
