Romans 10:12

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: What a blessed word that is — “There is no difference between the Jew and the Gentile”! There are some that want to keep up that difference.

Romans 10:12

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. If there be great numbers to be saved at one time, Christ will not have to do as we do when we have too many guests at a feast, namely, cut the portion of each one smaller.

For whosoever shall call upon the name the Lord,....

Romans 10:13

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed?

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

And how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? We must know what it is that we are to believe; and knowing it, we shall be helped by the Holy Spirit to believe it, Rom_10:14.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? For at the bottom of the saving invocation or call there must be real faith.
