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 Christ is the end of the law,.... The apostle here observes that to them which had they known, would have regulated their zeal, removed their ignorance and set them right, in that which they stumbled at, and fell. By the "law" here, is not meant the ceremonial law, of which, indeed, they were all very zealous, and of which Christ also was the end in many respects; he was the final cause of...
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 Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone that believeth. Christ is the ultimatum of the law; and when we go to the law, accepted and protected by him, we present to the law all that it can possibly demand of us. Christ has fulfilled the law on behalf of all who believe in him, so that its curse is abolished for all of us who approach it through Christ.
Charles H. Spurgeon
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them. That is the righteousness of the law. We are not under that covenant now. We shall never attain to righteousness that way.
Charles H. Spurgeon
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. He that believes in Christ is as righteous as the law could have made him, if he had kept it perfectly. The end of the law is righteousness; that is, the fulfilling of it; and he that hath Christ will see the law fulfilled in Christ, and the righteousness of Christ applied to himself.
Charles H. Spurgeon
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. He has put the law away so far as his own people are concerned; and, by that act, he has removed the possibility of self-righteousness, since we are no longer under the law. Though there can come no condemnation to us by it, there certainly can come no righteousness by it. Even Christ’s own people can never have any...
Charles H. Spurgeon
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. “The end of the law” is to make a man righteous, and Christ does make righteous everyone who believes in him. The act of faith in Christ accomplishes what all the good works in the world never can accomplish.
Charles H. Spurgeon
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone that believeth. Even the law itself has this for its main drift and purpose, — that it may introduce Christ. Its end, its intent, is to show to us our need of Christ, to point us to Christ, and to make us willing to have Christ as our Saviour; and as even the law aims at this object, much more clearly does the gospel. Oh, that none of...
Charles H. Spurgeon
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. This is the very essence of the gospel, that believing in Christ brings to sinners a righteousness which they can never obtain in any other way.
Charles H. Spurgeon
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. There is the point — to believe: to have faith. It is that which gives us the righteousness of which Christ is the sum total.
Charles H. Spurgeon
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. If we get Christ by believing, we have the righteousness of the law. All that ever could come to us by the highest and most perfect obedience to the law, we get by faith in Christ Jesus.
