Commentary on Romans 11:35

Theological / Devotional

Who hath first given? The quotation is from Job 41:1 f. None of Heaven’s gifts can be regarded as the repayment of a favor or gift previously made to God. All His blessings are prompted by His own free grace. Once again Paul is touching the fundamental error of the self-righteous Jews, the mistaken idea that men may earn God’s favor by their meritorious works.
