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

This was as balm to the wounds his words had inflicted. Judge then with what... read more

Romans 10:1-13Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.Paul’s desire and prayerI. Predestination should be no barrier in the way of prayer. The text derives a special interest from the very position which it occupies. He who saw the farthest into the counsels of the Divinity above, saw nothing there which should affect either the diligence or the devotions of any humble worshipper below. However indelibly the ultimate futurities of man are written in... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 10:9

9. That Rather, because, as depending upon nigh thee. Mouth… heart St. Paul follows the order of Moses in these two words; though, in the ordinary order of cause and effect, the latter is the fountain from which the stream flows through the former. And so Paul reverses the order in Romans 10:10. Moses, however, accustomed to outer confession, penetrates from the outward inwardly to the heart. read more
