Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Romans 8:26

Romans THE INTERCEDING SPIRIT Rom_8:26 . Pentecost was a transitory sign of a perpetual gift. The tongues of fire and the rushing mighty wind, which were at first the most conspicuous results of the gifts of the Spirit, tongues, and prophecies, and gifts of healing, which were to the early Church itself and to onlookers palpable demonstrations of an indwelling power, were little more lasting than the fire and the wind. Does anything remain? This whole great chapter is Paul’s triumphant... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Romans 8:18-30

Hoping for the Completed Redemption Romans 8:18-30 Creation groans for freedom from the serpent’s trail. Like a captive maiden she sighs to be delivered from the curse which sin has brought upon her. The saints groan for the resurrection of the body and their full admission into the complete enjoyment of redemption. The Spirit also groans for the speedy accomplishment of God’s purposes-the salvation of the lost, the unity of the Church, and the advent of the Father’s kingdom. His yearnings... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Romans 8:1-39

The opening sentences of this chapter show a remarkable contrast with the previous chapter. From the fearful sense of condemnation we pass into the consciousness of no condemnation. Having shown the negative value of the spiritual life as mastery over sin, the apostle now indicated briefly the positive value under the figure of sonship. Children are heirs of the Father's wealth and the Father's home. The apostle kept plainly in view the ground of our claim. "We are joint-heirs with Christ." ... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Romans 8:26-39

Some Things We Know Romans 8:26-39 INTRODUCTORY WORDS In the realms of the humanly unknowable and unknown, the Word of God is sure and steadfast. We can say, "I know this," or, "I know that," when God speaks, because God knows. God knows, for all things are from His hand. He knows history far back of the advent of man, because God was there; He knows prophecy far beyond the present hour of man, for He is there. When God speaks we know that He will fulfill His Word; we know that God is true;... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Romans 8:25

PATIENT WAITING‘If we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.’ Romans 8:25 We are living in a transition time, by which we mean that ours is an age of change. This is true of mankind everywhere, because change is a law of life. But change is no proof of advance or progress. By a transition time we mean a definite passage, a going over from the old to a new order of things. In a higher sense we Christians, in spiritual matters, are in a transition state; a state of... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Romans 8:26

THE HOLY SPIRIT OF HELP‘And in like manner the Spirit also helpeth our infirmity.’ Romans 8:26 (R.V.) Our Lord taught His disciples to pray, and promised another Advocate. So the Holy Ghost, as our Lord did, teaches us to pray, and is Himself, in a sense, our Advocate. But the mode of assistance is different. We humbly now inquire as to this mode. I. Let us seek to obtain a deeper realisation of the purport of that phrase: ‘We know not how to pray as we ought.’ Heathen philosophers gave as a... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 8:1-39

Salvation To The Uttermost (5:1-8:39). The depths of our sin having been revealed in Romans 1:17 to Romans 3:23, and Jesus Christ’s activity, (His activity in bringing about our salvation through the cross by means of the reckoning to us of His righteousness by faith), having been made known in Romans 3:24 to Romans 4:25, Paul now sets about demonstrating the consequences of this for all true believers (Romans 5:1 to Romans 8:39). He wants us immediately to recognise that being ‘accounted as... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 8:18-27

The Whole Of Creation Is Groaning In Expectation Of Its Redemption. And God’s People Also Groan With It, As Does The Spirit Of God Himself On Our Behalf (8:18-27). In spite of the division necessarily made this passage very much connects up with the previous one and it is only the change in subject matter which causes us to make the division, for Romans 8:18 takes up Romans 8:17. Paul has just been speaking of the fact that we who are sons of God will also share in His sufferings. Now we learn... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 8:23

‘And not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for our adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.’ Creation groans, and so also do Christians. We have received the firstfruits of the Spirit. We have thus experienced something of God’s work in producing a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17; Galatians 6:15; Ephesians 4:24; Colossians 3:10), which lives out its existence within the old creation. Our new life in the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 8:24

‘For in hope were we saved, but hope that is seen is not hope, for who hopes for what he sees?’ For we were saved ‘in hope’ (through faith - Ephesians 2:8). When we committed ourselves into the hands of our Saviour we were accounted as righteous and entered into the process of salvation. But that was in order to enjoy the ‘hope’ of what was to come as we awaited the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, when our salvation will be completed in the final transformation of our bodies. Thus we can know... read more
