SEV Biblia, Chapter 10:13
porque todo aquel que invocare el Nombre del Seor, ser salvo.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Romans 10:13
Verse 13. For whosoever shall call, &c.] Nor shall any one who hears this doctrine of salvation, and credits it as he is commanded, be permitted to pray or supplicate the throne of grace in vain: for the Prophet Joel hath declared, Joel ii. x22: Whosoever shall call upon, invoke, the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, the saviour of sinners, shall be saved-shall have his guilt pardoned, his heart purified; and if he abide in the faith, rooted and grounded in him, showing forth the virtues of him who was called him out of darkness into his marvellous light, he shall be saved with all the power of an eternal life. "Believing in Christ, or God, ver. 11, and calling upon God, ver. 12-14, are in effect the same thing; as calling upon God necessarily connects and supposes faith in him: and he who duly believes in Christ has such a sense of his dependence upon Divine grace, that he looks unto God and trusts in his power and goodness alone for happiness: which is the true religion of the Gospel." Dr. Taylor.
It is evident that St. Paul understood the text of Joel as relating to our blessed Lord; and therefore his word kuriov must answer to the prophet's word hwhy Yehovah, which is no mean proof of the Godhead of Jesus Christ. If the text be translated, Whosoever shall invoke in the name of the Lord, which translation hwhy b arqy yikra beshem Yehovah will certainly bear, yet still the term Yehovah, the incommunicable name, is given to Christ; because invoking in the name signifies soliciting one in the name or on the account of another. He who is invoked is GOD; he, in whose name he is invoked, is JESUS CHRIST, who is here called Yehovah.
He who asks mercy from GOD, in the name and for the sake of JESUS CHRIST, shall get his soul saved.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 13. For whosoever shall call upon the name the Lord , etc..] This testimony is taken out of ( Joel 2:32) and is brought to prove the truth of what the apostle had just suggested, that all that call upon the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, will find him rich and plenteous in mercy, and ready to dispense his grace and salvation to them: such shall be saved ; be they who they will, whether Jews or Gentiles; not with a temporal salvation only, but with a spiritual and eternal one; for the words of the prophet refer to Gospel times, as the context shows, and is cited and applied thereunto by the Apostle Peter, ( Acts 2:16-21); besides, the deliverance and salvation Joel speaks of, is of a remnant whom the Lord shall call, ( Joel 2:32); and designs the remnant according to the election of grace, whether among Jews or Gentiles, whom God calls by his efficacious grace; between which call and eternal glory, there is a certain and inseparable connection.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 12-17 - There is not one God to the Jews, more kind, and another to the Gentiles, who is less kind; the Lord is a Father to all men. The promise is the same to all, who call on the name of the Lord Jesus a the Son of God, as God manifest in the flesh. All believers thus cal upon the Lord Jesus, and none else will do so humbly or sincerely. But how should any call on the Lord Jesus, the Divine Saviour, who had no heard of him? And what is the life of a Christian but a life of prayer It shows that we feel our dependence on him, and are ready to give u ourselves to him, and have a believing expectation of our all from him It was necessary that the gospel should be preached to the Gentiles Somebody must show them what they are to believe. How welcome the gospel ought to be to those to whom it was preached! The gospel i given, not only to be known and believed, but to be obeyed. It is not system of notions, but a rule of practice. The beginning, progress, an strength of faith is by hearing. But it is only hearing the word, a the word of God that will strengthen faith.
