Note then the kindness and the severity of God: severity toward those who have fallen, but God’s kindness to you, provided you continue in his kindness. Otherwise you too will be cut off.
Romans 11:22

"Cut off"?! What about eternal security?!
Thanks for your question.
Being cut off refers to apostasy, i.e. to harden one’s heart and forsake faith in Christ, to cease bearing the fruit of faith (John 15:2; Luke 8:9-15; Hebrews 3:7-19; 6:4-6)
I was being sarcastic. There are many Christians who believe it is not possible for a Christian to lose their salvation/apostatize, despite Scriptures to the contrary.
Yes, it’s hard to miss, unless you’re just trying to ignore it. Scripture lays it out there plainly.
I wasn’t sure how you meant it, so I thought I should respond. 😊
