Romanos 3:29 Meaning and Commentary

Romans 3:29

Is he the God of the Jews only?
&c.] The Jews made their boast of him as such, and would not allow the Gentiles any interest in him: but

is he not also of the Gentiles? yes, of the Gentiles also:
God is the God both of Jews and Gentiles; not only as the Creator, preserver, and Governor of them, or as he has a right to demand worship and service of them, but as he is their covenant God; not by virtue of the covenant of circumcision, or by the Sinai Covenant, but by the covenant of grace; as appears by his loving them in Christ, choosing them in him, putting them into his hands, providing blessings of grace for them in him, and sending his Son to redeem them; by calling them by his grace; by their sanctification, adoption, pardon, and justification; by taking out of them a people for his name with whom he dwells, and of whom he takes care; and will never leave nor forsake: all which may lead us to observe the distinguishing grace of God, the happiness of our state and condition, and what encouragement we have for faith and hope in God.

Romanos 3:29 In-Context

27 Onde está logo a jactância? Foi excluída. Por que lei? Das obras? Não; mas pela lei da fé.

28 concluímos pois que o homem é justificado pela fé sem as obras da lei.

29 É porventura Deus somente dos judeus? Não é também dos gentios? Também dos gentios, certamente,

30 se é que Deus é um só, que pela fé há de justificar a circuncisão, e também por meio da fé a incircuncisão.

31 Anulamos, pois, a lei pela fé? De modo nenhum; antes estabelecemos a lei.
