Prov. 30:4• 4Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell? (Prov. 30:4)
;
John 3:13• 13And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. (John 3:13)
;
Rom. 10:6‑7• 6But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)
 7Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) (Rom. 10:6‑7)
• They had failed before God. The righteousness which the law claimed had only proved their actual unrighteousness. What was to become of them? Christ is brought in – “the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.” Hence therefore the Apostle by the Spirit gives the passage of Deuteronomy this admirable turn, that it is no question of going up to heaven to find the Savior, nor of going down into the bowels of the earth to bring Him from the dead – that the gospel brings the word of salvation near to the very door, “in thy mouth and in thy heart.” It is only to believe and confess the risen Lord Jesus. (“Deuteronomy 30” by W. Kelly)
