How preachers through history handled this text
30 public-domain excerpts on Romans 10, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“Did not the Jews know that the Gentiles were to be called in? They might have known it from Moses and Isaiah. Isaiah speaks plainly of the grace and favour of God, as going before in the receiving of the Gentiles. Was not this our own case? Did not God begin in love, and make himself known to us when we did not ask after him? The patience of God towards provoking sinners is wonderful. The time of God's patience is called a day, light as day, and fit for work and business; but limited as a day, and there is a night at the end of it. …”
— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on Romans 10:18–30 (Public Domain)
