• It is not the state of his affections (a very serious consideration, however, in its place) that is the subject here, but the importance and the truth of that which is presented by the Word-its importance to himself, as needing it for his salvation, a salvation that he is conscious of needing, that he cannot do without-a truth of which he is assured, as a testimony from God Himself. God affirms to such a one that salvation belongs to him. (“Romans 10” by J.N. Darby)
• To believe "in thine heart," which Paul speaks of here, means to believe sincerely; it is not a mere intellectual thing. (“The Responsibility of Man Israel's Present Rejection: Romans 10” by B. Anstey)
• "Confess" in this verse means "assent" (Strong's) or "to express agreement." The question is, to express agreement with whom? A. Roach said that in the light of Philippians 2:11 which says, "Every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father" and Romans 14:11 which says, "Every tongue shall confess to God," this is confession is to be made to God, not to men.
