Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Romans 15:13

MAIN HOMILETICS OF THE PARAGRAPH.—Romans 15:13The divine antidote against despair.—It is difficult to lead a truly religious life.

There are great forces against us; but, rightly considered, there are mightier forces engaged on our behalf. This text is in itself a shield of protection. An apostle prays. A God of hope encourages. The power of the Holy Ghost is engaged. The... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Romans 15:13

Romans 15:4 , Romans 15:13 The Twofold Genealogy of Hope. I. We have here the hope that is the child of the night and born in the dark. "Whatsoever things," says the Apostle, "were written aforetime, were written for our learning, that we through patience" or rather, the brave perseverance "and consolation" or rather, perhaps encouragement "of the Scriptures might have hope." The written word is conceived to be the source of patient endurance which acts as well as suffers. This grace... read more

Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.CHRISTIANS, even in the purest ages of the Church, have been too ready to indulge a spirit of bigotry and contention.

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Romans 15:1-33

Romans 15:4 . Whatsoever things were written afore-time, by Moses and the prophets concerning Christ, and the calling of the gentiles, were written in order to afford us the greatest comfort, by demonstrating the care of providence over the church in the accomplishment of the promises. John 10:16. St. Paul brings in four quotations of those promises, in Romans 15:9-12; and of course the believing jews were evidently too far transported with zeal in their attempts to force the Hebrew yoke on... read more
