DISCOURSE: 1886GOD’S SOVEREIGNTY NOT TO BE ARRAIGNED BY MENRomans 9:19-24. Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will? Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made we thus? Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour? What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Romans 9:1-33

Paul has just closed the eighth chapter of Romans in which he has taken us into the very peaks of the spiritual experiences that are ours in Christ Jesus. Showing us that we have this glorious place in the Lord where nothing can separate us from the love of God, neither tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or peril, nor nakedness, nor sword, for he is persuaded and in all these things we are more than conquerors. And that neither death nor life, nor angels, nor principalities,... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Romans 9:1-33

Romans 9:1 . I say the truth in Christ, I lie not. These forms of speech are equivalent to a solemn oath, and emanate from a heart deeply imbued with the sentiments of the Saviour, who often wept over his unhappy country.

Romans 9:19-20Thou wilt say then unto me, why doth He yet find fault? The proper attitude of man towards Divine mysteriesThe full spirit of this part of Paul’s reply may be brought out by considering it as addressed to the objector--I. As a man. Considering the appeal in this light, it impresses a lesson of great practical importance, namely, to beware of arraigning, with irreverent rashness and self-sufficiency, the procedure of the Divine Being, as represented to us by Himself. Nothing,... read more
