(325) The contrast, by which the difference between the law and the gospel appears, is indeed to be understood: and from this distinction we learn, that as the law demands works, so the gospel requires nothing else, but that men bring faith to receive the grace of God. (i) There is the ignorance which comes from neglect of knowledge. Moses claimed for the law which God had given to the people through him that it was clear, and within the range of their knowledge and understanding. Hence, as is shown later in the chapter, Adam is a head characterized by disobedience, who brought in death, the just penalty of sin; as on the other hand we have Him of whom he was the type, Christ, the obedient man, who has brought in righteousness, and this after a singularly blessed sort and style "justification of life." "Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. 2. (b) It is the normal title of the Roman Emperors. (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) Perhaps I am doing the same this morning, but I do not mean to do it. But besides this he adds "to faith." The believer, therefore, unwittingly though really, dishonours the Saviour, if he be content to walk short of this standard and power; he is entitled and called to walk according to his place, and in the confidence of his deliverance in Christ Jesus before God. "He that doeth those things," that is, always, without exception, with all his heart and soul and strength "he shall live by them"; but nobody else. How can they call on him in whom they have not believed? It is hard to trust somebody you don't know. Instead, we gain it by confessing and believing in the person and work of Jesus Christ. iii. and therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness. The Gentiles the despised heathen were to be brought in; the self-satisfied Jews are left behind, justly and beyond question, if they believed the law and the prophets. Let us go a little further. The whole work is done. I want to preach that same gospel this morning, in the hope that in after days this word may be scattered far and wide, and some Jack the Huckster, or some other like him, may find himself to be utterly empty and undone, and may then know that Christ is ordained to be his salvation. Their crowning glory was precisely what they would not hear of. Although circumcision began with Abraham, manifestly it had nothing to do with his righteousness, and at best was but the seal of the righteousness of faith which he had in an uncircumcised state. He quotes also from Isaiah "Whosoever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed." This he proves by showing the different constitution of these two. The past history of Israel was sketched inRomans 9:1-33; Romans 9:1-33; the present more immediately is before us inRomans 10:1-21; Romans 10:1-21. I'm sorry you can't accept it, but that is the way it is. What is that righteousness which is of faith, Romans 10:6; Romans 10:6, c. This he describes in the words of Moses, in Deuteronomy, in the second law (so Deuteronomy signifies), where there was a much clearer revelation of Christ and the gospel than there was in the first giving of the law: he quotes it from Deuteronomy 30:11-14, and shows. This is where so many religious people even sincere Christians go astray. For they, being ignorant of God's righteousness are going about to establish their own righteousness, and they have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. 3. to deal with the whole posterity of Adam as involved in death because of one, their common father, who could deny the consistency of one man's saving? (iii) The third objection is a restatement of the first: But, what if I insist that they never got the chance to hear? Romans 1:1-32. For this (Romans 10:11; Romans 10:11) he quotes Isaiah 28:16, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed; ou kataischynthesetai. . This accordingly leads the apostle into the earlier portion of his great argument, and first of all in a preparatory way. Paul's joy and boast were in the gospel of God. For if the law could give a man a righteous standing before God, then it was not necessary for Christ to die. In his final sermon, Moses made some other points. He is come up from the deep; we need not perplex ourselves how to bring him up. But there was far more in Jesus. (a.) Ed. Furthermore, To question how they could ascend into heaven in order to find a way of perfection was a denial of the incarnation of Christ. As far as persons are concerned, there is no hindrance; Jew or Gentile makes no difference, as is expressly said, "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the [passing over or praeter-mission, not] remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; to declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him that believeth in Jesus" (verses 23-26). Time was when none of the English, nor French, nor of any other nation believed in the Saviour. It has four stages of meaning. Keep to it. Accordingly the apostle says that boast and works are completely set aside by this principle which affirms faith, apart from deeds of law, to be the means of relationship with God (verses 27, 28). a. 1. It is simple; indeed, so simple that people try to obscure it in order to understand it. Hence, as God's wrath is revealed from heaven, it is against every form of impiety "against all ungodliness."

Just before Israel crossed into the Promised Land, Moses spoke of righteousness by faith.. There would be no remnant if justice took its course. This applies to all who cast themselves upon God in faith, Jews and Gentiles alike (11-13).Before people can believe this message, they must hear it. Angels saw him and wondered. Have done with every other confidence. ( Romans Commentary) Paul's main point is the ready availability of Good News. It may be helpful to read Deuteronomy 30:10. The same was true of the doctrine requiring faith in Christ. The language of faith says, Do nothing. But this one is a special little angel. Now there is a tremendous failure some place of getting the message out.For how can they call on Him who they don't believe in? Have you been born again?" And how shall they preach unless they are sent? The day hastens when the Redeemer shall come to Zion. You asked, "Who shall descend into the deep?" Going to where Jesus went (the abyss/Hades/the realm of the dead, verse 7) is also unnecessary. It say's this. If what is possible? Wuest, quoting Robertson on Jesus Christ is Lord: No Jew would do this who had not really trusted Christ, for Kurios in the LXX is used of God.

Isaiah was very bold, and he said, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that ask not after me.

I will move you to anger by a foolish nation.. Let man be what he might, or where he might, God's good news was for man. 17.) He was "declared," says the apostle, "to be the Son of God with power, according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead" ( , ver. But now to faith all this is gone not lightly, but truly in the sight of God; so that he may live on a Saviour that is risen from the dead as his new life. For Moses described the righteousness which is of the law, [he said,] That the man which doeth those things shall live by them. I am crazy about this little doll, but it is necessary for me to get her close to me to provoke her to jealousy.Now that is exactly what God is seeking to do to the Jews. It is not doing, but believing; therefore it is what is proclaimed to them, and what they receive and believe. Not so, says the apostle; it is because of the evil of the nature, not of the law. "For I am not ashamed of the gospel: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek" (ver. Verse Romans 10:8.

But what saith it? yet, that is might be the more effectual to drive people to Christ and to make the covenant of grace welcome, it had a very great mixture of the strictness and terror of the covenant of works. "The man has not got anything like settled peace with God; perhaps he hardly knows his sins forgiven; but at least he is a saved soul." In the gospel there is revealed God's righteousness. 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." Sin had left its crimson stain, but He washed me white as snow." Or, being ignorant of God's way of justification, which he has now appointed and revealed by Jesus Christ. Christ indeed did both; and so the word was nigh them, in their mouth and in their heart. The shedding of His blood was absolutely necessary: without that precious expiation all else had been vain and impossible. When we speak of looking upon Christ, and receiving Christ, and feeding upon Christ, it is not Christ in heaven, nor Christ in the deep, that we mean; but Christ in the promise, Christ exhibited to us, and offered, in the word. Hence, what he is here discussing is not remission of sins, but deliverance from sin. Faith comes by hearing, hearing by the Word of God. There are two things that might make insuperable difficulty: the one is the obstacle of sin in the nature to practical holiness; the other is the provocation and condemnation of the law. For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever.".

If you trust in him with your heart, trust him openly, and confess him with your mouth, owning that he is your Lord, and your Savior. The apostle refers to Isaiah to show that God would "lay in Zion a stumbling-stone." Justification by faith has always been the way for people to come to God. Chapter 10Now Paul again reaffirms his love and desire for his brethren after the flesh. "The word is nigh thee." ): Paul says it is not necessary for men to descend into the realms of death and Satan to attain salvation. But oh, thank God we have a message to tell to the nations. The legal institutions were associated with temporal judgment. He says, "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." "Stop a minute," said he. He could not have remitted heretofore. First, he cites Isaiah 28:16: "Every one who believes in him will not be put to shame." For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. God has condemned the flesh. He was God over all blessed for ever, as well as their Messiah. And he says to Israel: "All the day I have stretched out my hands to a people who are disobedient and contrary.". So, then, if a man called Jesus kurios ( G2962) 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. 15), "because we are not under the law, but under grace?"

He was Emmanuel, yea, the Jehovah, God of Israel. As your next door neighbor's house is not hard to get at, so neither is salvation by the gospel. They did not understand, and believe, and consider, the strict justice of God, in hating and punishing sin, and demanding satisfaction, did not consider what need we have of a righteousness wherein to appear before him; if they had, they would never have stood out against the gospel offer, nor expected justification by their own works, as if they could satisfy God's justice. already. This verse shows that believing faith does not come ultimately from the believer's witness but from the Word of God. ii. There. Some wonder why Paul didnt mention the crucifixion in this passage. The hope of salvation by works is black despair; yet we have a set of men on the face of the earth who are always wanting us to preach up this hopeless hope, and urging us to lay this heavy burden upon the shoulders of dying men. "I am dying by fiery torments for thy law's sake," he prayed to God. What canst thou need more than to rely upon the Anointed of the Lord? Accordingly Romans 8:1-39 pursues in the most practical manner the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free. (2.) "Oh, God surely loves all mankind, and God loves the Buddhist and God loves the Mohammed, and God loves everybody." Hence it is, as he says, herein revealed "from faith," or by faith. But what saith it? I will read his exact words to you. There is laid down the most essential of all truths as a groundwork of salvation; namely, expiation. Jesus died my soul to save, my lips shall still repeat, for Jesus paid it all, all to Him I owe. Well, I am sorry. Believe in him as your risen Saviour, declare him to be your Lord, and you will receive from God the righteousness that saves (9-10). This is true for both Jews and Gentiles. This was the key to their difficulties this alone, and fully explains their coming ruin as well as God's solemn warnings. Believe in Christ as you would believe in your friend: believe that he died for sinners, and trust in him for salvation. In Romans 10:1-21 Paul made this same point. This Huckster Jack was a poor, wicked fellow, who had gone about from village to village, swearing, drinking, huckstering and perhaps pilfering. If one may so say, He thus holds the man, instead of letting the man presume that he is holding fast the truth. Therefore, Christians must be sent to proclaim it (14-15). Even those that seek a place of separation to the Lord outside that which is now hurrying on souls to destruction are, nevertheless, deeply affected by the condition of that Christendom in which we find ourselves. No, you see, this opens the door to every man no matter who you are, predestined or not, elected or not, chosen or not. Paul's Discourse of Righteousness; The Method of Salvation. 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. 14:1 - 15:14. One day I was in my office studying Romans, and I was just so upset I put my Bible down and I said, "God, I can't reconcile it," and I walked out of the room. Such a man would necessarily be saved because there would be no sin to condemn him. The promise is the same to all, who call on the name of the Lord Jesus as the Son of God, as God manifest in the flesh. . No man could believe this who did not also believe all the truths dependent on it. All of Pauls teaching of Gods election and right to choose does not diminish mans responsibility. The connection is fully owned with that which had been from God of old. Thereby is identification with His death. Be it so then; it was a foolish nation by which Moses declared they should be angered. Birthright from the same father would let in Ishmael on the one hand, as from both parents it would secure the title of Esau on the other. Retrieve. Paul does not rejoice that they have stumbled at that stumbling stone (Romans 9:32). But there is a third. This also is a most important truth, my brethren, to bear in mind. Christ is the end of the ceremonial law; he is the period of it, because he is the perfection of it. d. Seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God: Israel had a lack of knowledge. 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. It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may bear it, and do it? i. 21). Because of Jesus Christ, man is no longer faced with the task of satisfying God's justice; he need only accept his love. First of all the apostle points out that death has come in, and that this was no consequence of law, but before it. You say, "Well, I can't reconcile that with God's divine election." Now, was it not extreme folly in the Jews to adhere so closely to this way of justification and salvation, which was in itself so hard, and by the corruption of nature now become impossible, when there was a new and a living way opened? They ought to have known better: they had every chance to know better; but they rejected the appeal of God. If he had to die, his fathers would receive him "holy and pure."

It is a holy balancing pole: we can walk the narrowest line with this in our hands, and fear no fall. The soul is brought into peace with God, as it finds its standing in the grace of God, and, more than that, rejoices in hope of the glory of God. There is a kind of telegraphic quality about the writing. We also do not need people to enter into heaven to learn Gods will since this information is revealed in His word. Be nothing; be nobody; and trust Him. This brings out a most emphatic truth and special side of Christianity. Then, fourthly, we will hear what experience saith; for we may bring in the experience of believers to back up the declarations of God. Romans 10:17, ESV: So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ. I have lost a friend tender and true to me, and my heart is too full for utterance. Here I shall be very brief.

Kurios Serapis is Lord Serapis. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. The apostle has come now to the nature. To say You can be right before God if you work hard enough is not a gospel of peace, and that message does not bring glad tidings of good things. 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. This, accordingly, is the essential spring of worship. This is precisely what salvation does not mean; and I would strongly press it on all that hear me, more particularly on those that have to do with the work of the Lord, and of course ardently desire to labour intelligently; and this not alone for the conversion, but for the establishment and deliverance of souls. It is just as clear as ever the law was, and quite as sharply distinct. But what saith it? Moses spoke a word that had to be obeyed, but Paul proclaims a word that must be believed. Romans 4:1-8,13-17. Justification by faith lays the foundation of our title to salvation; but by confession we build upon that foundation, and come at last to the full possession of that to which we were entitled. There is the balance. No trembling sinner doubts but that by the breaking of the law we are condemned: be you equally sure of it, that by not believing you are condemned. God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever would believe in Him would not perish but can know the eternal life of God and the glory of God's eternal kingdom and can share as children of God, heirs of God, joint-heirs with Jesus Christ, kings and priests in that glorious age that is coming. All through this section Paul has been driving home the personal responsibility of the Jews.

But this is not the full extent of salvation. "Whosoever believeth in him hath everlasting life." The meaning is not what was executed on Christ, but what is in virtue. First, he raises the question, "Has God cast away his people?" It is our duty truly and earnestly to desire the salvation of our own. Do you mean to tell me that because my father does not believe that Jesus is the Messiah that he is lost?" The meaning is, that the doctrine was already so familiar, and so well understood, that it was actually in their mouth, that is, their language, their common conversation. 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.

Thou art my hiding-place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. It is evident, therefore, that dispensational position will not suffice for God, who holds to His own unchangeable estimate of good and evil, and who judges the more stringently according to the measure of advantage possessed.

I confine myself to its doctrinal import, and the full Christian sense of the word; and I maintain that salvation signifies that deliverance for the believer which is the full consequence of the mighty work of Christ, apprehended not, of course, necessarily according to all its depth in God's eyes, but at any rate applied to the soul in the power of the Holy Ghost. There is then the solemn truth also of divine wrath. (iv) The fourth objection is: "But what if Israel did not understand?" He bade them read that chapter, "Let not your hearts be troubled"; and, as they read it, he did not take the verses, and apply them to himself. For they do not realize that a man can only achieve the status of righteousness by God's gift, and they seek to establish their own status, and so they have not submitted themselves to that power of God which alone can make them righteous in his sight. Once, again, though your faith should only be strong enough to lead you to pray, yet it shall save you, for "Whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved."
