Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Romans 11:1-10

1-10 There was a chosen remnant of believing Jews, who had righteousness and life by faith in Jesus Christ. These were kept according to the election of grace. If then this election was of grace, it could not be of works, either performed or foreseen. Every truly good disposition in a fallen creature must be the effect, therefore it cannot be the cause, of the grace of God bestowed on him. Salvation from the first to the last must be either of grace or of debt. These things are so directly... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Romans 11:1-99

Romans 11 THOUGH ISRAEL, as a nation, has been set aside for a time, they have not been cast away for ever. Some Gentiles in the conceit of their hearts thought so when Paul was writing, and not a few think so today. But God forbid that it should be so, for they are His people foreknown for a special object, and in that event His object would be defeated. The Apostle immediately cites his own case as proof. Mercy had been shown to him and he was an Israelite, a sample of that remnant which... read more

Paul E. Kretzmann

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Romans 11:1-2

A Remnant of Israel Saved. Meeting a further objection: v. 1. I say, then, Hath God cast away His people? God forbid! For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. v. 2. God hath not cast away His people which he foreknew. The apostle here in his own words states a false conclusion which some of his readers might draw from his previous presentation. Is it to be inferred that God has rejected His own people, those who are in truth His own? Note the emphasis... read more

Johann Peter Lange

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Romans 11:1-36

Third Section.—The final gracious solution of the enigma, or the overruling of judgment for the salvation of Israel. God’s judgment on Israel is not one of reprobation. God’s saving economy in His Providence over Jews and Gentiles, over the election and the great majority of Israel, and over the concatenation of judgment and salvation, by virtue of which all Israel shall finally attain to faith and salvation through the fulness of the Gentiles. The universality of judgment and mercy.... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Romans 11:1-12

a Remnant Saved by Grace Romans 11:1-12 In the worst days of Hebrew apostasy there was always an elect handful that did not go astray after other gods. It was so in the days of Elijah; and it was a comfort to the faithful heart of Paul to believe that, amid the general opposition excited by the preaching of the gospel, there were many secret lovers of the Cross who were true to the Messiah and His claims. Man can never count these quiet, unknown, holy souls, who, like the sweetest wild... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Romans 11:1-36

This discussion now gives rise to a new question, "Did God cast off His people?" They were created a nation in order that through them all the nations should be blessed. Failing to realize the divine intention concerning their own national life, they consequently and necessarily failed to fulfil that intention concerning the nations outside. God, however, does not allow the outside nations to suffer, but in infinite grace works through the fall of His earthly people toward enriching the whole... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 11:1

‘I say then, Did God cast off his people? Certainly not. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.’ In his usual manner Paul raises a question in order to answer it. His question is, ‘did God cast off His people’, and it is asked on the basis of the quotation in Isaiah which he has just used, ‘all day long have I held out My hands to a disobedient and obstinate people’ (Romans 10:21). His initial answer is that this cannot possibly be so because he himself is... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 11:1-10

God’s Purpose For Israel Is Being Fulfilled Through A Remnant (11:1-10). Paul now deals with the question as to whether Israel has been ‘cast off’. And his reply is ‘certainly not’, and this reply is based on the fact that many true Israelites, like Paul, are still acceptable to God. This, therefore, demonstrates that the whole people have not been cast off. And he then ties this in with his previous argument about God’s elective purpose within Israel (Romans 9:6-29). Israel has not been cast... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 11:1-36

The Messsiah Has Come And Is For All. God Has Not Failed In His Promises To The True Israel. Salvation For All is Through Faith In The Messiah (9:1-11:36) Paul now expands on chapters 1-8, in which he has demonstrated that all, both Jews and Gentiles, have sinned, and that all must therefore find salvation by faith through Jesus Christ, God’s Messiah. And he does it by 1). demonstrating the relationship of both Jews and Gentiles to the Messiah Who has come, and 2). showing that Salvation is... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 11:1-12

Romans 11:1-2 Kings : . The Elect Remnant.— Paul comes to the third part of his proof that “ God’ s word” to Israel “ has not fallen through,” despite the national rejection of Jesus Christ. Romans 11:1 . Romans 11:2 a. That “ God has not cast away His people” ( cf. 1 Samuel 12:22, Psalms 94:14, etc.), the “ Israelite” Paul is a living proof— God’ s people, that is, “ whom He foreknew” ( cf. Romans 8:29 *, 1 Peter 1:2). Romans 11:2 b – Romans 11:4 . One remembers how “ Elijah” mourned... read more
