Romains 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.

Romains 3:29 In-Context

27 Où donc est le sujet de se glorifier? Il est exclu. Par quelle loi? Par la loi des oeuvres? Non, mais par la loi de la foi.

28 Car nous pensons que l'homme est justifié par la foi, sans les oeuvres de la loi.

29 Ou bien Dieu est-il seulement le Dieu des Juifs? Ne l'est-il pas aussi des païens? Oui, il l'est aussi des païens,

30 puisqu'il y a un seul Dieu, qui justifiera par la foi les circoncis, et par la foi les incirconcis.

31 Anéantissons-nous donc la loi par la foi? Loin de là! Au contraire, nous confirmons la loi.
