29 Oder ist Gott der Gott der Juden allein? Nicht auch der Nationen?

Römer 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.

Römer 3:29 In-Context

27 Wo ist denn der Ruhm? Er ist ausgeschlossen worden. Durch was für ein Gesetz? Der Werke? Nein, sondern durch das Gesetz des Glaubens.

28 Denn wir urteilen, daß ein Mensch durch Glauben gerechtfertigt wird, ohne Gesetzeswerke.

29 Oder ist Gott der Gott der Juden allein? Nicht auch der Nationen?

30 Ja, auch der Nationen, dieweil es ein einiger Gott ist, der die Beschneidung aus Glauben und die Vorhaut durch den Glauben rechtfertigen wird.

31 Heben wir denn das Gesetz auf durch den Glauben? Das sei ferne! Sondern wir bestätigen das Gesetz.
