Israel rejected through lack of FaithIn Romans 9 St. Paul, defending the gospel against objections founded upon the fact that it had been rejected by the Jews as a whole, showed that God had never bound Himself to the Israelitish race, but had always kept Himself free to choose His own instruments. In Romans 10 he declares that Israel have caused their rejection by failure to recognise God’s methods, and by obstinate rebellion in spite of the patience of His love.1-15. The zeal of the Jews is... read more

The Present Blessing Romans 10:5-11 Whatever difficulty the commentator may find in this adoption by the Apostle of the words of the lawgiver, the evangelical import of the passage is both clear and rich. The redemption in Christ is set forth with marvellous plainness and power. Note the three leading characteristics of His great salvation. I. It is marked by clearness. The ninth verse gives the true Apostles' creed, 'Because if thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus as Lord, and shalt... read more
Chapter 21JEWISH UNBELIEF AND GENTILE FAITH: PROPHECYRomans 10:1-21THE problem of Israel is still upon the Apostle’s soul. He has explored here and there the conditions of the fact that his brethren, as a mass, have rejected Jesus. He has delivered his heart of its loving human groan over the fact. He has reminded himself, and then his readers, that the fact, however, involves no failure of the purpose and promise of God; for God from the first had indicated limitations within the apparent... read more

10:11 {7} For the scripture saith, Whosoever {k} believeth on him shall not be ashamed.(7) Now he proves the other part which he propounded before in the fourth verse, that is, that Christ calls whoever he wishes without any difference, and this confirms by a twofold testimony, Romans 10:4 .(k) To believe in God is to yield and consent to God’s promise of our salvation by Christ, and that not only in general, but when we know that the promises pertain to us, from which arises a sure trust. read more
Contrast Between Israel's Law and Their Need of Grace In Romans 9:1-33 we have seen God's sovereign title maintained in having an elect people according to grace. Now inRomans 10:1-21; Romans 10:1-21 the contrast between law and grace is dwelt upon - law with its cold, formal demands, grace with its warm yearning for the blessing of man, exemplified in Paul's desire for his brethren according to flesh, and in the beautiful feet of those who bring glad tidings of good things - a message law... read more
PARENTHESIS CONCERNING ISRAEL These chapters carry us back to chapter 3, where Paul proved the lost condition of the Jew as well as the Gentiles. But if this were so it might be charged that the Old Testament promises to Israel had failed, which he now shows is not the case. This line of argument is threefold: first, some of Israel were already saved (chap. 9); secondly, all of Israel might be saved but for unbelief (chap. 10); thirdly, all of Israel would be saved ultimately (chap. 11).... read more
Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Romans 10:11
Paul removed all doubt about the requirement for justification that his statement in Romans 10:9-10 might have created with this quotation from Isaiah 28:16. Belief in God, specifically in His promises, is the only condition for justification (cf. Romans 3:24-25). These promises are also the basis of the believer’s assurance that he or she possesses salvation (cf. 1 John 5:12-13). read more
