Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Romans 4:17

(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.Before God — Though before men nothing of this appeared, those nations being then unborn.As quickening the dead — The dead are not dead to him and even the things that are not, are before God.And calling the things that are not — Summoning them to rise into being, and appear before him. The seed of Abraham did... read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Romans 4:18-21

Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara's womb: He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.The Apostle shows... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 4:1-25

Faith-justification shown by Abraham’s Case to lie at the Foundation of the Jewish, as well as of the Christian, Church , Romans 4:1-25 . Abraham himself was gratuitously justified by faith, (Romans 4:1-5;) with a justification whose blessedness is attested by David, (Romans 4:6-8;) and which was conferred upon him in his Gentilism, and afterward sealed by circumcision, (Romans 4:9-11;) rendering him the father of the faithful by faith, (Romans 4:12-17,) insomuch that from that faith sprang... read more

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 4:17

17. Written Genesis 17:5. Quickeneth the dead The deadness of his own and Sarah’s body, the type and equal of a resurrection power. As though they were God’s words, “I have made thee father of many nations,” concentrated the wonderful future into the present. It called things future as if they now were. As quickening the dead designates God’s omnipotence, so gathering things that are yet to be into a now designates God’s foreknowledge. Abraham, then, with a large-minded and... read more

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 4:17-22

The Jewish Race-Church was born by Miracle from Abraham’s Faith , Romans 4:17-22 . It was a wonderful fact that not only Abraham’s spiritual seed, but even his bodily posterity, was born of his faith, and but for that faith had never existed. In patriarchal times, as already remarked, great was a great paternity. To be a bountiful mother was the glory of a woman, (Genesis 30:1;) to be father of a family the power of a man. To be father of a tribe was power; to be father of a nation was... read more

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 4:19

19. Weak in faith Grasping with all the energy of his higher nature, by a free and powerful exertion of his will, the promise of God. Own body now dead The apostle here, as in Hebrews 11:8-12; Hebrews 11:17-19, expatiates with pleasurable repetition on that Abrahamic faith by which the very existence of the chosen race sprung from the renovated bodies of their illustrious progenitors, as if by a resurrection from the dead. But for that, where would have been these boasting and gainsaying... read more
