Romans 9:6-29

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Romans 9:14-24

the Righteousness of God’s Choices Romans 9:14-24 God desires to do His best for every man. But, as in the case of Esau, who wantonly sold his birthright, and of Pharaoh, who turned all God’s revelations into occasions of aggravated resistance and stronger revolt, the Heavenly Father is sometimes compelled to cast away those who might assist in the execution of His purposes, and use inferior vessels made from common clay. In the earlier part of the conflict with the proud Egyptian monarch,... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Romans 9:25-33

Stumbling over the Cornerstone Romans 9:25-33 There has been a notable transference of privilege from the Jew to the Gentile believer. This is not due to fickleness on God’s part, but to a fatal defect in the Hebrew people. The vessel that was marred in the potter’s hand suffered not from the clumsiness of the potter, but from some inherent flaw in the clay. The Chosen People stumbled over the law of faith and rejected their Messiah. The Gentiles, on the other hand, have exercised faith in... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Romans 9:1-33

The connection between this very remarkable passage and the preceding climax is close. The great certainty of "no separation" is the experience of one in close communion with the Lord experimentally. What the apostle now declared is the outcome of the fact that the sphere of his life is Christ. When this is remembered, we have the key to what else were inexplicable. No man could have written such words unless he were indwelt and dominated by Christ through the Holy Spirit. The first expression... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Romans 9:1-27

Hath God Cast Away His People? Romans 9:1-27 INTRODUCTORY WORDS 1. We have the depths of the heart of Paul toward the Jews. How the heart of the Apostle must have throbbed as he wrote, "I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost, that I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart. For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh: who are Israelites." If there ever was a time... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Romans 9:13

THE STORY OF JACOB‘Jacob have I loved.’Romans 9:13It has been said as a paradox that ‘there is nothing so disappointing as failure, except success.’ The study of the character of Jacob illustrates the truth of the paradox, for we find that at the outset of his career he was eminently successful in accomplishing what he desired, whereas, when he was an old man, we see him overwhelmed with grief, saying, in anguish of spirit, ‘I will go down into the grave unto my son mourning.’ The sad thought... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Romans 9:13-14

NO UNRIGHTEOUSNESS WITH GOD‘As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated. What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.’ Romans 9:13-2 Chronicles : Jacob had great sins, but they were falls! He rose; he repented, and he was forgiven. In his heart of hearts he owned, and loved, and served, and honoured God. There was a secret hidden life in the man which you must set over against the visible and the public life. In the end and in the main he was a... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Romans 9:16

PREDESTINATION AND FREE WILL‘So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.’ Romans 9:16 Viewing things on the side of God’s absolute sovereignty, confining ourselves exclusively to the conclusions which follow from the conception of God’s infinite knowledge and infinite power, we must admit that all depends on God’s will—human merit is utterly excluded. Attainment of salvation ‘is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 9:1-33

The Messsiah Has Come And Is For All. God Has Not Failed In His Promises To The True Israel. Salvation For All is Through Faith In The Messiah (9:1-11:36) Paul now expands on chapters 1-8, in which he has demonstrated that all, both Jews and Gentiles, have sinned, and that all must therefore find salvation by faith through Jesus Christ, God’s Messiah. And he does it by 1). demonstrating the relationship of both Jews and Gentiles to the Messiah Who has come, and 2). showing that Salvation is... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 9:6

‘But it is not as though the word of God has come to nought. For they are not all Israel, who are of Israel,’ Paul is here concerned to demonstrate that the word of God has not come to nought in the failure of Israel to be what they should be, and it is on the basis that God never intended His word to apply to the whole of physical Israel. It was rather addressed to a spiritual remnant within Israel. To put it in simple terms, ‘they are not all Israel who are of Israel’. Here we have clearly... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 9:6-13

The Rejection Of Their Messiah By The Majority Of Israel Has Not Brought The Word Of God To Nought For It Has Always Been The Case That Not All Of Supposed Israel Are Truly Israel, But Only Those Who Are Chosen In Line With The Purposes Of God (9:6-13). Paul now deals with the charge that his teaching, in which he has rejected the idea that the Jews who cling to the Law are in process of salvation (e.g. Romans 2:1 to Romans 3:20), and in which he has opened to Gentiles a way back to God... read more
