Romans 11:36

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 11:1-36

The Messsiah Has Come And Is For All. God Has Not Failed In His Promises To The True Israel. Salvation For All is Through Faith In The Messiah (9:1-11:36) Paul now expands on chapters 1-8, in which he has demonstrated that all, both Jews and Gentiles, have sinned, and that all must therefore find salvation by faith through Jesus Christ, God’s Messiah. And he does it by 1). demonstrating the relationship of both Jews and Gentiles to the Messiah Who has come, and 2). showing that Salvation is... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 11:33-36

Paul Marvels At The Amazing Wisdom And Knowledge Of God As He Considers God’s Way Of Working As Revealed In What He Himself Has Said (11:33-36). Paul now marvels at the wisdom and knowledge that God has demonstrated in what He has done in using the unbelief of the Jews to bring about the evangelisation of the Gentiles, and then using the Gentiles to evangelise the Jews. It may also have in mind wonder at God’s method of salvation in chapters 1-8. But his verdict is that God’s judgments are... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 11:36

‘For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things. To him be the glory for ever. Amen.’ And the reason why what he has just declared is true is because everything, apart from sin which is an act of man, is of God. He is the source of all things (‘out of Him’), He is the controller of all things (‘through Him’), He is the goal of all things (‘to Him’). To Him therefore be the glory. Amen (this is sure). Excursus. Is The Church The True Israel In God’s Eyes? Is The Church the True Israel?... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 11:25-36

Romans 11:25-Zephaniah : . The Mystery of Israel’ s Future. Romans 11:25-Ezekiel : a . It may save Gentile believers from a dangerous “ self-conceit” ( cf. Romans 12:16) to learn “ the secret that the hardening” (see Romans 11:7) which “ has partially befallen Israel” (the remnant is exempt; Romans 11:5; Romans 11:7), will last only “ until the full complement of the nations enters” into God’ s kingdom; “ then all Israel will be saved.” A mystery is a secret truth concerning God’ s... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Romans 11:36

For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things; i.e. all things are of him, as the efficient cause; through him, as the disposing cause; to him, as the final cause. They are of him, without any other motive; through him, without any assistance; and to him, without any other end, i.e. for his sake alone. To whom be glory for ever. Amen: a usual doxology in Scripture: see Galatians 1:5; 2 Timothy 4:18; Hebrews 13:21; 1 Peter 5:11. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Romans 11:33-36

CRITICAL NOTESRomans 11:33.—Judgments are God’s decrees; and His ways are His ways of bringing them to pass. How just is Paul’s reflection upon the whole of his preceding remarks! God’s works in providence and grace are mysterious, and we may well exclaim, O the depth!Romans 11:36.—God is the centre of all things; they come from Him. He is the universal Worker. All works contribute to His glory.MAIN HOMILETICS OF THE PARAGRAPH.—Romans 11:33-36A fathomless deep.—What sublime irony is contained... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Romans 11:36

Romans 11:36 God's Creative and Providential Government. I. All things are of God. All the good is of God by authorship, all the evil is of God by permission. In the great things of redemption all things are emphatically of God. For there is no spiritual life in the soul of a fallen man. If it ever lives it is through the vivifying energy of God's Holy Spirit. He excites the prayer and the desire to pray; He gives the ability to pray; His mercies yearned over us; so that He sent His... read more

For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.GOD is represented in the Scriptures as “a jealous God.” And well he may be so: for it is not fit that any portion of “his glory should be given to another.” But man is ready, on all occasions, to arrogate something to... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Romans 11:1-36

Shall we turn in our Bibles to Romans, chapter 11.In chapters 9-11 Paul is dealing with a couple of subjects; one the sovereignty of God, but it is the sovereignty of God in setting aside the nation Israel as God's primary target, you might say for work, and beginning to pour out His Spirit and work among the Gentiles. Because Paul is a Jew through and through, his heart, his prayer for Israel is that they might be saved, and yet, he can see in the scriptures those prophecies of God's move... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Romans 11:1-36

Romans 11:1 . Hath God cast away his people? The jews would say, what else can we infer? If the gentiles are now become the Israel of God, and if we are rejected for not embracing what Paul calls the righteousness of God? St. Paul denies this, for he himself, and the thousands which believed in Judea, as well as the thousands dispersed on Stephen’s persecution, were all jews, and afforded proof to the contrary. Though God had denationalized them, and sentenced them to dispersion; and though... read more
