Romans
5:1-11
THEREFORE,
SINCE WE HAVE BEEN JUSTIFIED THROUGH FAITH,
WE
HAVE PEACE WITH GOD
THROUGH
OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST,
2
THROUGH WHOM WE HAVE GAINED ACCESS BY FAITH
INTO
THIS GRACE IN WHICH WE NOW STAND.
And
we Rejoice in the Hope of the Glory of God.
3
Not only so,
BUT
WE ALSO REJOICE IN OUR SUFFERINGS,
BECAUSE
WE KNOW THAT SUFFERING PRODUCES PERSEVERANCE;
4
PERSEVERANCE, CHARACTER; AND CHARACTER HOPE
5
AND HOPE DOES NOT DISAPPOINT US,
BECAUSE
GOD HAS POURED OUT HIS LOVE INTO OUR HEARTS
BY
THE HOLY SPIRIT, WHOM HE HAS GIVEN US.
6
You see, at just the right time,
When
we were still Powerless,
CHRIST
DIED FOR THE UNGODLY.
7
Very Rarely will anyone die for a Righteous man,
Though
for a good man someone might possible dare to die.
8
But God demonstrates His own love for us in this:
WHILE
WERE WERE STILL SINNERS,
CHRIST
DIED FOR US.
9
SINCE WE HAVE NOW BEEN JUSTIFIED BY HIS BLOOD,
HOW
MUCH MORE SHALL WE BE SAVED FROM GOD'S WRATH
THROUGH
HIM!
10
FOR IF WHEN WE WERE GOD'S ENEMIES,
WE
WERE RECONCILED TO HIM
THROUGH
THE DEATH OF HIS SON,
HOW
MUCH MORE, HAVING BEEN RECONCILED,
SHALL
WE BE SAVED THROUGH HIS LIFE!
11
Not only is this so,
But
we also Rejoice in God
Through
our Lord Jesus Christ,
Through
whom we have now received Reconciliation.
(Romans 5:1-11)
Peace and Joy only come through
Faith in God
And His Word.
Apart from this all is Pretense.
We Rejoice in our Sufferings
Because Suffering produces Hope.
There is No Hope for the Unbelieving
World;
It only exists by Faith;
Yet, anyone can come in through
Faith.
Christ died for All.
We are Justified by His blood
And it is this same blood that saves
us
From the coming Wrath.
We stand Reconciled.
