Romans 5:1-8

Romans 5:1-8

Paul has brilliantly presented his case, according to the scriptures, that justification is by faith alone in Christ alone.He now lays out before us the wonderful results of justification by faith alone in Christ alone. Our justification by faith provides us with incredible blessings from God that we can enjoy here and now. We have peace with God. We have access to God anytime and anywhere and we are able to rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Even more, we are able to glory in tribulations knowing that through them God will produce in us perseverance, character and hope. Our lives have eternal purpose to the glory of God.The last blessing he mentions is that the love of God has been poured out into our hearts. Having made this declaration, he will now take the time to describe the character of God's love.

Chapter 5
1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope:
5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
