There was a most important trial of man in the person of Adam; but after this, what dispensation was there? For Moses described the righteousness which is of the law, [he said,] That the man which doeth those things shall live by them. What the apostle had given him in fulness was the great truth, however fundamental it may be, that I am entitled, and even called on in the name of the Lord Jesus, to know that I am dead to sin; not that I must die, but that I am dead that my baptism means nothing less than this, and is shorn of its most emphatic point if limited merely to Christ's dying for my sins. Jesus has come down: years ago be left the glories of his Father. Free shipping for many products! For whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved ( Romans 10:12-13 ). 3). He is not coming according to the covenant that God established by Moses for sins to be forgiven. Jesus has already come to the earth and brought us the information we need to serve God and find heaven. And she gives me the worst time because she knows how totally she has me wrapped around her little finger. Keep to it. iii. No longer does the question exist of requiring an expiation. I have the deep satisfaction of saying that when our dear brethren and sisters fall asleep they reflect honor upon the gospel which we have preached. He proved himself the Son of God, gave the most convincing evidence that could be of his being the Messiah; and yet they did not know and would not own him, but shut their eyes against the clear light, so that their zeal for the law was blind. For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever.". Fair-weather sailors, who go out in their little painted perfection boats, are people who have had small temptation and little soul-trouble. This is applied in the two chapters that follow. Now it is interesting that this follows Paul's declaration about how God will have mercy upon whom He will have mercy and harden those whom He will harden. Charity teaches us to have the best opinion of persons, and to put the best construction upon words and actions, that they will bear. The doing supposed must be perfect and sinless, without the least breach or violation. No, salvation is not put at so vast a distance from us. Difficulty there is none: only believe and thou art saved. No, He has already come and brought salvation down from heaven to men. In the gospel there is revealed God's righteousness. It is His righteousness, or, in other words, His perfect consistency with Himself, which is always involved in the notion of righteousness. (c) It is the normal title of the Greek gods, prefaced before the god's name. While there were people who could read, the ordinary first-century citizen depended rather on being able to hear something. (Morris). It is not God seeking, or man bringing righteousness. Although there is undoubtedly that profoundness which must accompany every revelation of God, and especially in connection with Christ as now manifested, still we have God adapting Himself to the very first wants of a renewed soul nay, even to the wretchedness of souls without God, without any real knowledge either of themselves or of Him. 3. It could not therefore be the source or means of his righteousness. The Gentiles did not seem to him to be in the same position as the Jews at all. II. Ourselves nothing, Christ everything that is it. Look at our dear, departed brother, Mr. Higgs, the last who has crossed the stream. But this does not content the apostle, or rather the Spirit of God; for he goes on to point out that Isaiah "is very bold" in a similar way; that is, there is no concealing the truth of the matter. "What shall we sing?" But what does it say? Nederlandstalige Bijbelstudies door Stan Marinussen. Yes, God has chosen and elected and predestined. This were indeed to deny the value of His death, and of that newness of life we have in Him risen, and a return to bondage of the worst description.

Zion shall yet behold her mighty, divine, but once despised Deliverer; and when He thus comes, there will be a deliverance suited to His glory. The Jews were the last in the world to take such ground as this. 6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven?

The Holy Ghost, who now gives the soul its consciousness of deliverance from its place in Christ, is also the witness that the body too, the mortal body, shall be delivered in its time. All Israel shall be saved. It is the thing which troubles a renewed conscientious soul above all, because of his surprise at finding the deep evil of the flesh and its mind after having proved the great grace of God in the gift of Christ. This is a state of mind, and not the necessary or immediate fruit of Romans 3:1-31, but is based on the truth of Romans 4:1-25 as well as 3. Well, I can't either, but God didn't call me to reconcile it, He just called me to believe it.I tried to reconcile it for years until I was in such mental gymnastics I was worn out. So the gospel does not propose a second way, and suggest "a larger hope," but it declares with solemn decision, "He that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." 1. Herein he was merciful, as God is, who is not willing that any should perish (2 Peter 3:9), desires not the death of sinners. Rather does it add to his guilt: such is man's evil state and will. Believing in the heart that God raised him from the dead. How far? But the Jew might argue that it was an unjust thing in principle this gospel, these tidings of which the apostle was so full; for why should one man affect many, yea, all? "The word is near you. Faith comes by hearing, hearing by the Word of God.We are told in Jude that one of the ways by which we keep ourselves in that place of blessing, the blessings of God's love, is building up ourselves in the most holy faith. They tried him with their various attainments, depressions, anxieties, quibbles, and questions; but still the huckster would not budge. It say's this. Where then is boasting? Accordingly, then, he confronts the unquestionable truth, admitted by every Israelite, of the universal havoc by one man everywhere with the One man who has brought in (not pardon only, but, as we shall find) eternal life and liberty liberty now in the free gift of life, but a liberty that will never cease for the soul's enjoyment until it has embraced the very body that still groans, and this because of the Holy Ghost who dwells in it. Isaiah says: "I was found of them who sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me." It is agreed by all commentators that this is one of the most difficult and obscure passages in the letter to the Romans. Now I take this opportunity of pressing on all that are here to beware of contracted views of "salvation." Now listen. (1-3) Israels refusal to submit to the righteousness of God. Again, we cannot neglect the emphasis on personal responsibility. For belief with the heart is the way to a right relationship with God, and confession with the mouth is the way to salvation, For scripture says, "Every one who believes in him will not be put to shame," for there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord over all, and he has ample resources for all who call upon him. If I had a sense of sin as deep as that of lost souls in hell, I could hope that I should be saved." I will read his exact words to you. Two things are required as conditions of salvation:-- (a.) The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.". In the same way the apostle disposes of all pretence on the score of ordinances, especially circumcision. Christ has already done that and has returned gloriously by His resurrection from the dead. In Romans 10:1-21 Paul made this same point. It was laid down that, in the event of sickness, measures might be taken to keep the patient from becoming worse, but not to make him better. Because if you know God well you will have no problem trusting in Him at all.How can you know God? Rather he means to say the same thing about the system of grace ("the righteousness which is of faith") that Moses says about the law. There is nothing that proves this so convincingly as the book of Genesis; and the apostle, by the Spirit of God, calmly but triumphantly summons the Jewish Scriptures to demonstrate that which the Jews were so strenuously denying. 1. He quotes from Joel, that whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. They would have us proclaim salvation by the works of the law. One reported to me the other day a word which cheered me much. "Not so," replies the apostle. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. On the contrary, it was the Jew provoked by the Gentiles "By them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you." The remnant proves, then, that even under judgment the rejection of Israel is not complete, but rather a pledge of future favour. It is our duty that we must not, it is our privilege that we shall not, be ashamed of our faith in Christ. For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God." Thou art my hiding-place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. He was a man of rare common sense, straightforward and downright in his aims, and most pithy in his speech, with such a mixture of mother-wit that he might have been taken for John Ploughman's brother, as indeed he was. 5. In the beginning ofRomans 2:1-29; Romans 2:1-29 we have man pretending to righteousness. I was made manifest to those who did not ask for Me.. He saves those who are always confessors of sin, always needy in themselves, and therefore always glad of him. The law ends for the believer in the sense that our obedience to the law is no longer the basis for our relationship with God. Romans 10:8-17 8 But what does it say? No man among us doubts that if he had performed the law of God the Lord would give him life; but it is equally certain that if we have believed in the Lord Jesus Christ we have eternal lire. Through His Word. The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart. Instead of having to go to great lengths to achieve righteousness by the law, we can immediately receive righteousness by faith, by trusting in the word of the gospel. Deuteronomy 30:14. What baptism sets forth is more than that, and is justly found, not in Romans 3:1-31, but inRomans 6:1-23; Romans 6:1-23. We provide you with a list of stored cookies on your computer in our domain so you can check what we stored. We have the tenour of it, Romans 10:9; Romans 10:10, the sum of the gospel, which is plain and easy enough. But this may be comparatively a light question. He says, "I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou may be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed." Plainly put, by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified (Romans 3:20). Great preachers have known this. You can check these in your browser security settings. No Gentile would do it who had not ceased worshipping the emperor as Kurios. (324) The righteousness of faith is evidently the it in this question: See Romans 10:6. If you find him in it will not much matter where you find him, in heaven or in the deep, for he must be almighty everywhere. Such is the doctrine and the fact. Hence the apostle does not, as in the early chapters of this epistle, take up our sins, except as proofs and symptoms of sin. Christ is the end of the ceremonial law; he is the period of it, because he is the perfection of it. Now that God has revealed Himself in the gospel, it is not what will suit man on earth, but what is worthy of the presence of the glory of God. It is close to you. That it is not at all hard or difficult. The unbelieving Jews were the most bitter enemies Paul had in the world, and yet Paul gives them as good a character as the truth would bear. (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) Look to him and salvation is thine. 18). God was not satisfied alone. In this chapter are contained an account of the two righteousnesses of faith and works, a summary of the Gospel of Christ, a description of the grace of faith, in the nature, use, and means of it, and several testimonies concerning the calling of the Gentiles; and whereas the apostle knew that this, as well as what he had said in the latter part of the preceding chapter, that the Jews had not attained to the law of righteousness, but stumbled at the stumbling stone, would be offensive to his countrymen the Jews; wherefore that it might appear that he said this not out of disaffection and ill will to them, he declares his sincere regard unto them, and the great respect he had for them, by calling them "brethren", by expressing his good will to them, by praying for the salvation of them, Ro 10:1, by bearing testimony of their zeal for God, Ro 10:2, though he faithfully observes to them, that it was an ignorant zeal, of which ignorance he gives an instance, Ro 10:3, particularly in the attribute of God's righteousness; from which ignorance arose all their misconduct in religious things, especially in the article of justification; hence they sought to be justified by their own righteousness, and rejected the righteousness of Christ, and then points out to them the true end of the law, for righteousness which is Christ, Ro 10:4, which if they had known would have set them right, and which is another instance of their ignorant and misguided zeal: this leads him on to what he had in view, which was to give an account of the two righteousnesses he had suggested in the latter part of the former chapter, the righteousness of the law, which the Jews sought for and found not, and the righteousness of faith, which the Gentiles without seeking for enjoyed; and this account he gives in the words of Moses, for whom they had the greatest regard: the description of the former is given in his words, in Ro 10:5, which suggest the impossibility of keeping the law, and obtaining life by it, and therefore it is a vain thing to seek for righteousness by the works of it; the latter is described, Ro 10:6,7, by the certainty of it, being wrought out by Christ, who came down from heaven, fulfilled the law, and died, and rose again from the dead; and by the plainness and evidence of it, as revealed in the Gospel, Ro 10:8, the sum of which Gospel is, that whoever believes in Christ and confesses him shall be saved, Ro 10:9, which faith and confession, when genuine, are with the heart and mouth agreeing together; the consequences of which are righteousness and salvation, comfortably apprehended and enjoyed, Ro 10:10, and that the above is the sum of the Gospel, and that there is such a connection between faith and righteousness, and between confession and salvation, is confirmed, Ro 10:11, by a testimony from the prophet, Isa 28:16, which being expressed in such a general manner, as to extend to every believer, whether Jew or Gentile, reasons are given, Ro 10:12, in support of such an explanation of that passage, taken from the equal condition of all, there being no difference between them naturally, from the universal dominion of God over them, and from his liberal communication of grace and goodness to all that call upon him; which last reason is confirmed, Ro 10:13, by a passage of Scripture in Joe 2:32, on occasion of which, the apostle proceeds to treat of the calling of the Gentiles, and of the means of it, the preaching of the Gospel, which was necessary to it, which is made out by a train of reasoning after this manner; that seeing salvation is only of such that call upon the name of the Lord, and there could be no calling upon him without believing in him, and no believing without hearing, and no hearing without preaching, and no preaching without mission, which is proved by a citation out of Isa 52:7, and no success in preaching, when sent, without the exertions of efficacious grace, as appears from the case of the Jews, who had the ministration of the Gospel to them by Isaiah, and yet all did not believe it; as is evident from Isa 53:1, and seeing the conclusion of which is, that faith comes by preaching, and preaching by the order and command of God, Ro 10:14-17, it follows, that it was proper that ministers should be sent, and the Gospel preached to the Gentiles, and that attended with power, in order that they should believe in the Lord, and call upon his name and be saved; and which method God had taken, and which he had foretold he would take, in the prophecies of the Old Testament, and which were now fulfilling: that the Gospel was preached to them, and they heard it, were matters of fact, and were no other than what should be, or might be concluded, from Ps 19:4, cited, Ro 10:18, and that the Jews could not be ignorant of the calling of the Gentiles is clear, first from the words of Moses, De 32:21, which the apostle produces, Ro 10:19, and from a passage in the prophecy of Isa 65:1. Say not even in thy heart that by these doings or feelings thou canst be saved. You may now believe in Christ and live eternally. They are a disobedient and contrary people, and all the more so because of their great responsibility before God. We cannot speak of the state of things before the flood as a dispensation. Romans 1:1-32. Do some great brave wonderful marvelous thing. The word is nigh thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach: The 5th verse is a quotation from Leviticus 18:5. And that word is the message of faith which we proclaim. In this too we have the blessed connection of the Spirit (here peculiarly designated, for special reasons, "the Spirit of holiness"). Now, what Paul declared of the Jew then is still true today. Paul does not raise the possibility of the message being read. 5 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them. I have always felt obliged to the Cardinal for that admission; because the best is good enough for me, and since trusting in Jesus is the safest, I intend to stick to it even to the end. But this one is a special little angel. Paul said, "It is eliminated." They set up the golden calf, and thus cast off the true God, their God, even in the desert. But there is more than this in Romans 4:1-25 He takes up a third feature of Abraham's case; that is, the connection of the promise with resurrection. Wishing and woulding, if that be all, are not praying. Man became the object, first, of general dealings of God under Noah; next, of His special ways in the calling of Abraham and of his family. The "word of faith" is the gospel Paul preaches and has explained in detail in Romans one through eight. a. The law never delivers; it condemns and kills us. It became simply a question whether, in fact, God did call Gentiles, or whether He had revealed such intentions. Deuteronomy 30:14. Take his counsel. This might seem an exaggeration: the gospel had not been carried throughout all the earth, not even to all the lands that were known to the inhabitants of the Graeco-Roman world. Confessing the Lord Jesus--openly professing relation to him and dependence on him, as our prince and Saviour, owning Christianity in the face of all the allurements and affrightments of this world, standing by him in all weathers. (1.) You can also change some of your preferences. If a man called Jesus kurios he was ranking him with the Emperor and with God; he was giving him the supreme place in his life; he was pledging him implicit obedience and reverent worship. (Barclay), ii. There could be but one satisfactory answer. For they're ignorant of God's righteousness and they are going about to establish their own righteousness.I had a Jewish fellow one night as we were talking say to me, "Well, Chuck, my father is a very religious man. Their own Scriptures maintained, as nothing else could, that all the wretchedness which is now found in the world, and the condemnation which hangs over the race, is the fruit of one man, and indeed of one act. The gospel goes forth universally. The stumbling-stone was their despised and rejected Messiah. There is no need of dwelling now on "salvation" as employed in the Old Testament, and in some parts of the New, as the gospels and Revelation particularly, where it is used for deliverance in power or even providence and present things. Then your principle is your condemnation. They have plenty of zeal but little knowledge. A Monument for the Dead, and a Voice to the Living, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------, Delivered on Lord's-Day Morning, January 7th, 1883, by, At the Metropolitan Tabernacle, Newington. But they have not all obeyed the gospel: If salvation is so simple, available to all who trust in the person and work of Jesus, then why does Israel seem to be cast off from God? - That is, what is the language of the doctrine of justification by faith? So also the gospel by no means involves itself in obscurity, but says, Believe and live, quite as distinctly as Moses said, "Do and live." The righteousness of the law required absolute sinless perfection achieved through flawless obedience; however, the righteousness that is of faith does not make requirements that are impossible for sinners. Observe again, it is not victory here; for that would give place to human pride. The use of the law was to direct people for righteousness to Christ. Whosoever believed should not be ashamed; whosoever called should be saved. The gospel means His glad tidings for man. Ed. Chapter Summary Paul's heart is broken for his people, Israel. Now I ask you to listen to WHAT THE GOSPEL SAITH. If God has made you feel yourself a sinner, then Christ is such a Savior as you need and you may have him at once: the only difficulty lies in the way being so easy that you can hardly think it can be so. The whole history of Israel, past, present, and future falls in with, although quite distinct from, that which he had been expounding. Not so, says the apostle. A great present-day preacher called preaching "pleading with men." No, he directed the comfort to his dear wife, for she had greater need of it than he had his faith was firm. All then that believe, though uncircumcised, might claim him as father, assured that righteousness will be reckoned to them too. May faith be increased as you study His Word. He does not say that if you have broken the law you may still live by some other means. that is, the word of faith, which we preach -- --that is, the word which men were to believe and obey for salvation (compare 1 Timothy 4:6). The law is magnified and made honourable by the death of Christ; and the doctrine of faith in his death and resurrection is fully proclaimed, and amply proved to be effectual to the purpose for which it was revealed. 8, after thanking God through Jesus for their faith spoken of everywhere, and telling them of his prayers for them, he briefly discloses the desire of his heart about them his long-cherished hope according to the grace of the gospel to reach Rome his confidence in the love of God that through him some spiritual gift would be imparted to them, that they might be established, and, according to the spirit of grace which filled his own heart, that he too might be comforted together with them "by the mutual faith both of you and me" (vv. The question then is raised in the beginning ofRomans 3:1-31; Romans 3:1-31, If this be so, what is the superiority of the Jew? ( Romans Commentary) Paul's main point is the ready availability of Good News. But they are not even doing the works that God requires in the offering of a sacrifice. Though the whole might have been announced in one continuous sentence, yet a question is interposed for the sake of exciting attention: and his object at the same time was to show how great is the difference between the righteousness of the law and that of the gospel; for the one, showing itself at a distance, restrains all men from coming nigh; but the other, offering itself at hand, kindly invites us to a fruition of itself, Nigh thee is the word. God is proved thus divinely consistent with Himself in Christ Jesus, whom He has set forth a mercy-seat through faith in His blood.
