Romans 11:29-32
King James Version (KJV)
29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
30 For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:
31 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.
32 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.
Romans 11:29-32
Living Bible (TLB)
29 For God’s gifts and his call can never be withdrawn; he will never go back on his promises. 30 Once you were rebels against God, but when the Jews refused his gifts God was merciful to you instead. 31 And now the Jews are the rebels, but some day they, too, will share in God’s mercy upon you. 32 For God has given them all up to sin so that he could have mercy upon all alike.

These are my thoughts, please share yours.
29 God stays true we do not have do anything but follow in faith to receive blessings, He will do the rest thru us if we let Him work. We can not turn from our sins and then come to God, He wants us to come to Him and then allow Him to fix us.
30 We were born outside God’s will and lived as the world till we came to Him because He called us. God is merciful and showed us mercy by not only saving us but giving us gifts. Because they chose not to believe we can believe and be blessed as they would if they accepted the truth as we do.
31 Those who have not accepted the truth and received blessing, we should show love and as lead by the Lord share the gospel with them because we once did not accept the gospel as they do now.
32 We are sinners, there are to types those like us who have been forgiven and those who have not accepted forgiveness thru Christ, we are better off but not better than them.
