Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Romans 8:1-39

The first four verses of this chapter belong to the preseding one, and deduce the just conclusions therefrom, that the state of fallen man is a state of condemnation and legal bondage that he cannot extricate himself by any unavailing efforts of legal obedience that God has done for us by Jesus Christ what we could not do for ourselves that this liberation is obtained by union with Christ, which exempts us from condemnation and that those who are thus united to him, walk not after the flesh,... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Romans 8:30

Romans 8:30Moreover, whom He did predestinate, them He also called. The golden chainThis consists of several links. The middle portion of it hangs down to earth, and comes into the view of men; but the ends of it are fastened to the two eternities and are both hidden. Note:--I. The unbroken succession of steps in the accomplishment of the original purpose of God. Calling and justification are the principal links, but not all the links; they are sufficient, however, to show that between the... read more

30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. Ver. 30. Them also he called, &c. ] If ye feel not faith (said that holy martyr), then know that predestination is too high a matter for you to be disputers of, until you have been better scholars in the school house of repentance and justification, which is the grammar school wherein we must be conversant and learned, before we go to the... read more

4. Gracious aids, through the Divinely Foreseen and Accomplished Stages, to the Final Glorification , Romans 8:26-30 . The emphatic passage is Romans 8:29-30, and for it the previous verses prepare.

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 8:30

30. Called The apostle does not imply that others were not called; for he knew that “many are called but few chosen.” The disobedient to the call are here left out of the account. They exclude or withdraw themselves, voluntarily and freely, from the favourably foreknown and the predestinated. Mr. Barnes says, “The predestination secures the calling, and the calling secures the justification.” If the apostle himself had so said, it would have been decisive; but that is precisely what he... read more
