Beloved in the Lord: Have you ever seen anyone from a poor background given a good job and then he begins to act like he was the King of Spain?
He quickly forgets from where he came and starts acting like everyone should be beholden to him!
Even slaves who were freed in Rome 2000 years ago, and slaves who were freed in the US 200 years ago turned arrogant and had slaves of their own!
Just so, Gentiles Christians who were graciously freed by a Jewish man (from eternity in hell) then turned and mocked the Jewish people as inferior.
This is the issue Apostle Paul addressed in our passage. He tells them: "Don't be complacent, or you will fall."
Our headings are: 1. The Gentiles grafted into the Olive Tree 2. The Gentiles gloated about being in the Olive Tree 3. The Gentiles given a warning about gloating of being grafted in the Olive Tree
Our goals are: That you will humble yourself before God, knowing you did not deserve to be saved, and instead, you will produce fruits of obedience to bring honour to the one who save you and joined you to his family.
