Romans 15:13
_ _ Now, etc. — This seems a concluding prayer, suggested by the whole preceding subject matter of the epistle.
_ _ the God of hope — (See on Romans 15:5).
_ _ fill you with all joy and peace in believing — the native truth of that faith which is the great theme of this epistle (compare Galatians 5:22).
_ _ that ye may abound in hope — “of the glory of God.” (See on Romans 5:1).
_ _ through the power of the Holy Ghost — to whom, in the economy of redemption, it belongs to inspire believers with all gracious affections.
_ _ On the foregoing portion, Note,
_ _ (1) No Christian is at liberty to regard himself as an isolated disciple of the Lord Jesus, having to decide questions of duty and liberty solely with reference to himself. As Christians are one body in Christ, so the great law of love binds them to act in all things with tenderness and consideration for their brethren in “the common salvation” (Romans 15:1, Romans 15:2).
_ _ (2) Of this unselfishness Christ is the perfect model of all Christians (Romans 15:3).
_ _ (3) Holy Scripture is the divine storehouse of all furniture for the Christian life, even in its most trying and delicate features (Romans 15:4).
_ _ (4) The harmonious glorification of the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ by the whole body of the redeemed, as it is the most exalted fruit of the scheme of redemption, so it is the last end of God in it (Romans 15:5-7). |
Romans 15:13
_ _ Here is another prayer directed to God, as the God of hope; and it is, as the former (Romans 15:5, Romans 15:6), for spiritual blessings: these are the blest blessings, and to be first and chiefly prayed for.
_ _ I. Observe how he addresses himself to God, as the God of hope. It is good in prayer to fasten upon those names, titles, and attributes of God, which are most suitable to the errand we come upon, and will best serve to encourage our faith concerning it. Every word in the prayer should be a plea. Thus should the cause be skilfully ordered, and the mouth filled with arguments. God is the God of hope. He is the foundation on which our hope is built, and he is the builder that doth himself raise it: he is both the object of our hope, and the author of it. That hope is but fancy, and will deceive us, which is not fastened upon God (as the goodness hoped for, and the truth hoped in), and which is not of his working in us. We have both together, Psalms 119:49. Thy word — there is God the object; on which thou hast caused me to hope — there is God the author of our hope, 1 Peter 1:3.
_ _ II. What he asks of God, not for himself, but for them.
_ _ 1. That they might be filled with all joy and peace in believing. Joy and peace are two of those things in which the kingdom of God consists, Romans 14:17. Joy in God, peace of conscience, both arising from a sense of our justification; see Romans 5:1, Romans 5:2. Joy and peace in our own bosoms would promote a cheerful unity and unanimity with our brethren. Observe, (1.) How desirable this joy and peace are: they are filling. Carnal joy puffs up the soul, but cannot fill it; therefore in laughter the heart is sad. True, heavenly, spiritual joy is filling to the soul; it has a satisfaction in it, answerable to the soul's vast and just desires. Thus does God satiate and replenish the weary soul. Nothing more than this joy, only more of it, even the perfection of it in glory, is the desire of the soul that hath it, Psalms 4:6, Psalms 4:7; Psalms 36:8; Psalms 63:5; Psalms 65:4. (2.) How it is attainable. [1.] By prayer. We must go to God for it; he will for this be enquired of. Prayer fetches in spiritual joy and peace. [2.] By believing; that is the means to be used. It is vain, and flashy, and transient joy, that is the product of fancy; true substantial joy is the fruit of faith. Believing, you rejoice with joy unspeakable, 1 Peter 1:8. It is owing to the weakness of our faith that we are so much wanting in joy and peace. Only believe; believe the goodness of Christ, the love of Christ, the promises of the covenant, and the joys and glories of heaven; let faith be the substance and evidence of these things, and the result must needs be joy and peace. Observe, It is all joy and peace — all sorts of true joy and peace. When we come to God by prayer we must enlarge our desires; we are not straitened in him, why should we be straitened in ourselves? Ask for all joy; open thy mouth wide, and he will fill it.
_ _ 2. That they might abound in hope through the power of the Holy Ghost. The joy and peace of believers arise chiefly from their hopes. What is laid out upon them is but little, compared with what is laid up for them; therefore the more hope they have the more joy and peace they have. We do then abound in hope when we hope for great things from God, and are greatly established and confirmed in these hopes. Christians should desire and labour after an abundance of hope, such hope as will not make ashamed. This is through the power of the Holy Ghost. The same almighty power that works grace begets and strengthens this hope. Our own power will never reach it; and therefore where this hope is, and is abounding, the blessed Spirit must have all the glory. |
Romans 15:13
Now the God of hope — A glorious title of God, but till now unknown to the heathens; for their goddess Hope, like their other idols, was nothing; whose temple at Rome was burned by lightning. It was, indeed, built again not long after, but was again burned to the ground. |
Romans 15:13
(7) Now the God of (i) hope fill you with (k) all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.
(7) He seals up as it were all the former treatise with prayers, wishing all that to be given them by the Lord, that he had commanded them.
(i) In whom we hope.
(k) Abundantly and plentifully. |
