Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 10:1-21

The Eternal Destiny Of All People, Both Jew And Gentile, Is Based On Belief In God’s Messiah, Jesus Christ. (9:30-10:21). There is now a vast change in Paul’s argument, for it will be noted that from Romans 9:30 to Romans 10:17 Paul lays huge emphasis on faith and on believing in Jesus Christ, this in contrast with Romans 9:6-29 where they are not mentioned. Faith in Jesus Christ as the Messiah undergirds this whole passage. The Greek words for faith and/or believing occur in almost every... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 10:5-13

The Righteousness Which Is Of The Law Is Compared With The Righteousness Which Is Of Faith, That Is, The Righteousness Which Results From Faith In The Messiah, And What He Has Done For Us Through His Death And Resurrection (10:5-13). In this third contrast between the righteousness which is of the Law and the righteousness which is of faith there is a contrast between the life obtainable through the Law, and the full salvation available through Christ. In it Paul cites Moses in order to define... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 10:9

‘Because if you will confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and will believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved,” What was required in order to be saved was confessing with the mouth Jesus as LORD, and believing in the heart that God had raised Him from the dead, (that is, had vindicated Him as the true Messiah, as the only One so raised). An open willingness to confess with the mouth what we believe about Jesus was thus seen as important. As Jesus had said to... 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 10:9

q.d. There are but these two things, which the gospel principally requires in order to our salvation: the one is, the confession of Christ with our mouths, and that in spite of all persecution and danger, to own him for our Lord, and for our Jesus; and to declare, that we are and will be ruled and saved by him, and by him only. The other is, to believe in our hearts, that God hath raised him from the dead. This article of the resurrection of Christ presupposeth all the rest, and fasteneth... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Romans 10:5-11

CRITICAL NOTESRomans 10:6. Say not in thine heart.—Unbelief originates from self-confidence. Who shall ascend?—Indicating unbelief in a risen Saviour. Salvation is a completed work; do not trouble about its vastness or its difficulty.Romans 10:7.—ἄβυσσος, the place of departed spirits, supposed by the Jews to be far below the surface of the earth. The Jerusalem Targum renders the words thus: “Oh that there were one like Jonas the prophet who would descend into the depths of the great sea! “Now... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Romans 10:8-9

Romans 10:8-9 I. Confession with the mouth. Confession does not stop, though it begins, with the confession of sin, of the greatness of its guilt, and the justice of its punishment; it rapidly advances to the confession announced in our text; the confession of sin being not only involved in the confession of Christ, but issuing in that confession in the largest and least qualified sense. He who feels that sin is destroying him is in the exact position to take home the truth that Christ died to... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Romans 10:9

Romans 10:9 Belief in the Resurrection of Christ. I. That which serves for the condemnation of the unbeliever, setting at nought all his wisdom, works in every way for the good of the faithful, and so is it with that marvellous fulfilment the Resurrection. It was such as quite surpassed all the thoughts even of good men. So that when our Lord so often spoke to the apostles of His sufferings and resurrection, it is said they "understood it not." Now, if that were the case then, so will it always... read more

Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - Romans 10:8-10

DISCOURSE: 1890GOSPEL SALVATIONRomans 10:8-10. That is, the word of faith, which we preach; that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.IF we would know with certainty what the Gospel is, we should examine carefully what the Apostles preached. But in various places their discourses... read more
