Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 10:14-21

God Has Sent Out His Messianic Messengers To The World But Israel Have Not Listened (10:14-21). Having established that salvation is to be found through faith in Jesus the Messiah, and that it is being offered to ‘whoever’, the question would now arise as to how the ‘whoever’ would hear. So Paul now stresses that the necessary means for reception of the message are in place. God has sent out His Messianic messengers both to Israel and to the world in order to arouse faith in the Messiah, just... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 10:5-15

Romans 10:5-Ezra : . The New Way of Righteousness. Romans 10:5 . The legal plan was “ Do, and thou shalt live” ( Leviticus 18:5). Romans 10:6-2 Samuel : . But there is a deeper secret: behind the deed the heart, voiced by the mouth; and “ with the heart man believes, with the mouth confesses” ( Romans 10:10). To “ believe unto righteousness” is to believe so as to gain righteousness ( Romans 4:4 f.). In the oracle of Deuteronomy 30:12 f., “ the righteousness that comes of faith” spoke... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Romans 10:14

The connexion of this verse and the following verses of this chapter is very obscure. Some connect these words with Romans 10:12. There he said: There is no difference between Jew and Greek, & c. And this he proves, because the means to attain salvation by the true invocation of God hath been made common to all; and consequently faith, and so, from time to time, the hearing and preaching the word of God, according as the one is occasioned by the other. Others make this the coherence: Seeing... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Romans 10:12-18

CRITICAL NOTESRomans 10:12.—A favourite Pauline expression declaring the exuberant grace of Christ.Romans 10:13.—Double argument for Christ’s divinity. He is called Jehovah, and is invoked.Romans 10:15.—The Midrash shir Hasschium upon these words, “the voice of truth,” etc., says, “This is the voice of King Messiah crying out, and saying, How beautiful upon the mountains,” etc. Those Gentiles who have never heard the gospel preached cannot be condemned for want of faith in Christ.Romans... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Romans 10:14

Romans 10:14 The opponents of "faith by hearing" are accustomed to speak highly of the general sources of enlightenment the prospect of creation without us and the light of conscience within. I. As regards the former its universality and perpetuity, as a disclosure of deity to mankind, are utterly contrasted with the Christian system. If God were to interfere at all, they maintain, it would be by some universal agency, simple, general, and obvious, as the laws of His visible creation. They... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Romans 10:14-15

Romans 10:14-15 Modern Missions. It is an integral point of the Christian gospel that it recognises the unity of mankind, abolishes old walls of division, and aims at establishing on earth a universal spiritual brotherhood. Consider how thoroughly in harmony it is with this gospel of human brotherhood that to every man is given the privilege of calling every other man home to God. Christ, in re-establishing unity among mankind, has done more than make man his brother's keeper; He has made man... read more

DISCOURSE: 1891SALVATION BY CHRIST UNIVERSALLY TO BE PROCLAIMEDRomans 10:12-15. There is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? and how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Romans 10:1-21

Chapter 10Now Paul again reaffirms his love and desire for his brethren after the flesh.Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge ( Romans 10:1-2 ).They are zealous for God, yes. Some of those zealous ones beat up the mayor in Jerusalem just a day or so ago because of some of his rulings that they felt did not coincide with their desires. They wanted Jerusalem to be... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Romans 10:1-21

Romans 10:1 . My heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. Chrysostom’s comment is, my “vehement desire” for their salvation. St. Paul having declared his mind, in the full and flowing language of all the prophets, concerning the equal rights of the gentiles to all the blessings of Abraham’s covenant, here declares his heart in all goodwill for the salvation of his countrymen. This was as balm to the wounds his words had inflicted. Judge then with what... read more
