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
But they have not all obeyed the Gospel,.... Who hear it, and to whom it is preached; for though ministers may be regularly sent forth, and rightly preach the Gospel in the purity of it, yet there is no success without the power of God attending it: ministers may preach, and men may hear, and yet not obey the Gospel; that is, cordially embrace the doctrines, and sincerely submit to the ordinances...
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...

But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? And what Isaiah says, many and many a preacher since has had to say. “Woe, woe to us for this.”
Charles H. Spurgeon
But they have not all obeyed the gospel. “But.” A sorrowful “but” is this. Oh! this is the mischief of it. The gospel, then, has an authority about it; or else the Apostle would not speak of obeying the gospel. Men are bound to believe what God declares to them, and their not believing is a disobedience. “They have not all obeyed the gospel.” Rom_10:16. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed...
Charles H. Spurgeon
But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. But I say, Have they not heard? Is that the reason why many do not believe,—because they have not heard the gospel? Well, it is not the reason in the case of anybody here present, for I suppose all of you have heard the gospel,—probably...
Charles H. Spurgeon
But they have not all obeyed the gospel. That is the pity of it, — that so many have heard the gospel, but have not obeyed it. This shows that the gospel comes to us as a command, because we cannot disobey where there is no order or rule. O sinner, listen to this! When you hear the gospel, it is not left to your own choice to have it or leave it, so that you are as free to do the one as the...
Charles H. Spurgeon
For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. But I say, Have they not heard? Ah, that is the important question! If they had not heard it, they could not be condemned for disobeying it, for the sin lies in hearing and yet not believing. “Have they not heard?”
Charles H. Spurgeon
But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? So you see that even the prophet Isaiah had the idea that salvation comes to sinners by believing. He mourned and cried to his God because men did not believe the “report” which he had been sent to deliver to them concerning that Man who was “despised and rejected of men,” that Man of whom the prophet...
Charles H. Spurgeon
But they have not all obeyed the gospel. All who have heard the gospel have not obeyed it. Rom_10:16. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? And what Isaiah said is what we also have to say today, “Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?”
Charles H. Spurgeon
But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. It does not ever come by seeing. Faith does not come by looking upon ceremonies — by gazing upon processions and pompous rituals. It come by the simple hearing of the Word. It is a matter of the understanding, and the work of the Holy...
Charles H. Spurgeon
But they have not all obeyed the gospel. Oh, no; all who have beard it, have not obeyed it! There are many here who have beard it from their childhood, and yet they have not obeyed it. Notice the word “obeyed”, for the gospel comes to you with the force of a command. If you reject it, you sin against it, for it is your duty to accept it: “but they have not all obeyed the gospel.” Rom_10:16. For...
