You belong to Christ and that is good, but do not become arrogant toward those whom God is still trying to bring to faith.

11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy. 12 Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness? 13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office: 14 If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them. 15 For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead? 16 For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches. 17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert grafted in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree; 18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. 19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in. 20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: 21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.(KJV)

1. “Come unto Me, ye weary, 
And I will give you rest.” 
O blessed voice of Jesus, 
Which comes to hearts opprest! 
It tells of benediction, 
Of pardon, grace, and peace, 
Of joy that hath no ending, 
Of love which cannot cease. 

2. “Come unto Me, ye wanderers; 
And I will give you light.” 
O loving voice of Jesus, 
Which comes to cheer the night! 
Our hearts were filled with sadness, 
And we had lost our way; 
But Thou hast brought us gladness 
And songs at break of day. 

3. “Come unto Me, ye fainting, 
And I will give you life.” 
O cheering voice of Jesus, 
Which comes to aid our strife! 
The Foe is stern and eager, 
The fight is fierce and long; 
But Thou hast made us mighty 
And stronger than the strong. 

4. And whosoever cometh, 
I will not cast him out.” 
O patient love of Jesus, 
Which drives away our doubt, 
Which, though we be unworthy 
Of love so great and free, 
Invites us very sinners 
To come, dear Lord, to Thee!
