Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch Old Testament Commentary
The final statement of the case: They call them (the whole people) rejected silver, i.e., they are recognised as such; for Jahveh has rejected them, has given over trying to make anything of them.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
Reprobate--silver so full of alloy as to be utterly worthless (Isa 1:22). The Jews were fit only for rejection. The prophet stood at the gate of the temple in order that the multitudes from the country might hear him. His life was threatened, it appears from Jer 26:1-9, for this prophecy, denouncing the fate of Shiloh as about to befall the temple at Jerusalem. The prophecy given in detail here is summarily referred to there. After Josiah's death the nation relapsed into idolatry through Jehoiakim's bad influence; the worship of Jehovah was, however, combined with it (Jer 7:4, Jer 7:10). Next: Jeremiah Chapter 7
John Gill Bible Commentary
Reprobate silver shall men call them,.... Or, "call ye them" (i), as the Targum; so the Septuagint, Vulgate Latin, and Arabic versions; by whom are meant the Jews, who thought themselves of some account, as silver; being the seed of Abraham, and having the law, the covenant and promises, and service of God; when those that tried them, as the prophets, found them to be nothing but dross; and therefore, if they must be called silver, they could call them no other than reprobate silver; or what is of no account and value; and which is confirmed by the following reason, which contains the judgment and conduct of him that cannot err: for the Lord hath rejected them; from being his people; and therefore cast them out of their own land, and caused them to go into captivity. (i) , "vocate eos": V. L. Pagninus. Next: Jeremiah Chapter 7

Jeremiah 6:30
An Invasion from the North
29The bellows blow fiercely, blasting away the lead with fire. The refining proceeds in vain, for the wicked are not purged. 30They are called rejected silver, because the LORD has rejected them.”

God's Will in Electing Grace
By Rolfe Barnard1.1K44:36JER 6:30MAT 6:332CO 13:5In this sermon, the preacher discusses the concept of reprobation and the marks that people wear if they are cast away in hell with no hope of salvation. He suggests that America as a nation may be in a state of reprobation, and that the majority of people living in America may have been rejected by God. The preacher emphasizes that while the grace of God extends to all mankind, there are distinctions in the Bible regarding different types of grace. He mentions redeeming, saving grace that brings people to God in Jesus Christ, common grace that leaves all men without excuse, and sufficient grace that reaches all mankind to leave them without excuse. The preacher also refers to Jesus answering questions and revealing the truth, despite the ignorance and resistance of some individuals.
The Marks of Reprobation
By Rolfe Barnard88951:14JER 6:30LUK 2:49JHN 19:182CO 13:5EPH 2:8In this sermon, the preacher discusses the concept of a reprobate nation, using the example of America. He believes that America is already in hell because of the moral decay and violence that is prevalent in society. The preacher emphasizes the importance of being steeped in the Bible to understand the current generation's spiritual state. He also talks about the three directions in which God's grace is extended: redeeming grace for the saved, common grace for those who have not yet been saved, and sufficient grace and mercy for all mankind. The sermon warns of the impending judgment and the need for God's redeeming grace to save individuals.
God's Rejection - Reprobation
By Rolfe Barnard76046:50ReprobationJER 6:30MAT 28:19MRK 3:22ROM 1:20ROM 1:26HEB 3:12In this sermon, the preacher reflects on the decline of morality in America and the loss of moral values. He discusses the five common graces that God gives to humanity to restrain their sinful nature and make life livable. These graces include wisdom, knowledge of God, and natural affections. The preacher emphasizes the importance of examining oneself to determine if they are truly in the faith and committed to Christ's mission. He warns that when the means by which God resists one's evil nature no longer work, it is a sign of God's rejection and a terrifying indication of the current age.
Reprobate Silver
By Rolfe Barnard58443:40ApostasyJER 6:30MRK 3:272CO 13:51TH 1:4In this sermon, the preacher discusses the concept of God's grace and how it extends to all mankind. He distinguishes between redeeming, saving grace and common grace, which is described in the book of Romans. The preacher expresses concern about the state of America, particularly highlighting the actions of the Supreme Court and the limitations placed on law enforcement. He argues that the removal of the fear of human government has led to a decline in moral conscience and a disregard for God's absolutes. The sermon concludes with a warning about the judgment that awaits those who reject God and dwell in silence.
Reprobation
By Charles Finney0ReprobationFree WillISA 1:18JER 6:30ROM 1:24Charles Finney addresses the doctrine of reprobation, emphasizing that God has made every effort to save the obstinate and impenitent people of Israel, yet they remain unyielding. He explains that reprobation is not due to God's malevolence but is a consequence of individuals' unwillingness to accept salvation on God's terms. Finney argues that reprobates are not lost because they are reprobated, but rather because they persist in their wickedness and reject God's grace. He concludes that the salvation of the reprobate hinges on their own choices, and that God's justice and benevolence are evident in the doctrine of reprobation, which ultimately serves the greater good of the universe.
Of the Decrees of Rejection, of Some Angels, and of Some Men.
By John Gill0Divine SovereigntyElection and RejectionJER 6:30MAT 7:23MAT 25:41JHN 13:18ROM 9:18ROM 11:51TI 5:212PE 2:4JUD 1:6REV 20:15John Gill addresses the complex theological concepts of divine rejection, focusing on the rejection of certain angels and men. He explains that God's decree of rejection is rooted in His sovereign will, contrasting it with the doctrine of election. Gill emphasizes that while some angels were chosen and confirmed in grace, others were passed over and appointed to judgment, illustrating God's justice and sovereignty. He further discusses the rejection of some men, highlighting that this non-election is not based on sin but on God's good pleasure, ultimately serving His glory. The sermon invites reflection on the nature of God's decrees and the implications for humanity's understanding of grace and judgment.
Authentic Religion
By J.C. Ryle0True ChristianityAuthenticity in FaithJER 6:30MAT 7:22MAT 23:33MRK 11:13LUK 8:13ACT 8:21ROM 10:10PHP 2:121JN 3:18REV 3:1J.C. Ryle emphasizes the critical need for authenticity in religion, warning against the prevalence of hollow and counterfeit faith in contemporary society. He defines authentic religion as genuine, sincere, and deeply rooted in the heart, contrasting it with superficial expressions of faith that lack true substance. Ryle provides tests to evaluate the authenticity of one's faith, urging believers to examine their feelings towards sin, Christ, and the fruits of their lives. He concludes with a call to action, encouraging individuals to seek a true relationship with Christ and to be authentic in their Christian walk, as only genuine faith will endure the test of time and judgment.
The Mental Agonies of Hell
By Robert Murray M'Cheyne0Eternal ConsequencesUrgency of SalvationGEN 15:1PSA 73:26PRO 15:11JER 6:30MAT 25:412CO 5:8PHP 1:232TH 1:92TI 4:8REV 3:20Robert Murray M'Cheyne emphasizes the urgency of seeking the kingdom of heaven, drawing from Paul's example of striving for spiritual assurance and discipline even after conversion. He warns of the dire consequences of being a 'castaway,' highlighting the mental agonies of hell, where the unrepentant will be eternally separated from God's presence, favor, and blessings. M'Cheyne illustrates that the wicked will face not only the absence of joy and comfort but also the torment of their own memories and conscience. He urges both believers to remain vigilant in their faith and the ungodly to turn to Christ before it is too late, reminding them of the love of Christ who bore the weight of being a castaway for their salvation.
Election and Reprobation
By Charles Finney0ReprobationElectionJER 6:30MAT 22:14JHN 6:37ROM 8:33EPH 1:42TH 2:132TI 2:19HEB 10:261PE 1:2REV 20:15Charles Finney addresses the concepts of election and reprobation, emphasizing that God has chosen some for salvation while rejecting others based on His infinite wisdom and foreknowledge. He clarifies that election is not based on human merit but on God's sovereign will and the individual's response to the gospel. Finney encourages listeners to examine their lives and attitudes towards the truth of the gospel as indicators of their eternal destiny, highlighting that the elect will show a genuine interest in salvation while the reprobate will remain indifferent or hostile. He concludes by urging individuals to make their calling and election sure through self-examination and a sincere pursuit of truth.
