Charles Spurgeon Commentary Romans 10:12-13

"For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek: for the same [Lord] is Lord of all, and is rich unto all that call upon him: for, Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." — Romans 10:12-13 (ASV)

For the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

This was the old prophecy of Joel. The Jews knew it. It is the new teaching of the gospel. The Gentiles know it. Oh! Who would not wish to be in that broad "whosoever," that he might find salvation?

For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich to all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

That is it, a wonderful sentence; lay hold of it. Doubting, troubled spirits, lay hold of it, believe it, practice it; and you will find it true.

For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

What a comforting text for some of you. You want salvation, but you are afraid you cannot find it. Whosoever—what a grand word—whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord—that is to say, in prayer, but that prayer must be the prayer of faith—he shall be saved.
