John Gill
INTRODUCTION TO Romans 10 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,...
John Gill
For whosoever shall call upon the name the Lord,.... This testimony is taken out of Joe 2:32 and is brought to prove the truth of what the apostle had just suggested, that all that call upon the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, will find him rich and plenteous in mercy, and ready to dispense his grace and salvation to them: such shall be saved; be they who they will, whether Jews or Gentiles; not...
Matthew Henry
The dissolving of the peculiar church-state of the Jews, and the rejection of that polity by the repealing of their ceremonial law, the vacating of all the institutions of it, the abolishing of their priesthood, the burning of their temple, and the taking away of their place and nation, and in their room the substituting and erecting of a catholic church-state among the Gentile nations, though to...
Charles H. Spurgeon
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 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. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. How then shall they call on...
Charles H. Spurgeon
For the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. This was the old prophecy of Joel. The Jews knew it. It is the new teaching of the gospel. The Gentiles know it. Oh! who would not wish to be in that broad “whosoever,” that he might find salvation?
Charles H. Spurgeon
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. We call upon that name by having confidence in it; by speaking to God in prayer, using that name; by adoring and reverently proclaiming the majesty and the name of God. Whosoever shall call upon or invoke that great name shall be saved.
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? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of...
Charles H. Spurgeon
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 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. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. What precious promises these...
Charles H. Spurgeon
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Let us read that blessed verse again.
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? When I hear anyone say, “I cannot believe in Christ, but I will pray to him for faith; I say, surely the prayer is more difficult than the believing: “How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed?”
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? They cannot rightly pray without faith, “for he that cometh to God must believe “that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”
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. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. What a comforting text for some of you. You want salvation, but you are afraid you cannot find it. “Whosoever” — what a grand word — “whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord” — that is to say in prayer,...
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. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. That is it wonderful sentence; catch at it. Doubting, troubled spirits, catch at it, believe it, practice it; and you shall find it true.
