*OUTLINE*
*Introduction*:  This summer was by far the most difficult summer I have ever had to deal with.
I came across many trials and temptations in my life, and I was constantly turning to God for comfort and guidance.
My grandfather, Papo, whom I was very close to, passed away towards the end of the summer.
He spent nearly eight weeks in the hospital after suffering a stroke.
Papo was not able to overcome the effects the stroke had on his body.
As the days went by, he was gradually getting worse.
On top of that, I went to the doctor because my knee was hurting and found out that I had a torn meniscus that required surgery.
Just when I thought things couldn’t get any worse, I had to have surgery on my knee three weeks before returning to TTU.
During these situations, I kept searching the Scriptures to find peace that only God can give us.
This search led me to the passage I am going to preach on today.
The beginning of Romans 5 deals with the blessings of our justification.
Justification is to be declared righteous by God.
Justification is by faith.
Warren Wiersbe says, “Our justification is not simply a guarantee of heaven, as thrilling as that is, but it is also the source of tremendous blessings that we can enjoy here and now.”
In fact, the first blessing that justification produces is peace with God.
 
!! *I.  **Justification provides peace with God.  (Romans 5:1)*
*Transition*:  Now that we have seen the blessing of peace through justification, let us take a look at the second blessing of Justification.
!! *II.
**Justification Provides Access to God. (Romans 5:2a)*
*Transition*: Now that we have realized that justification provides us with access to God, let us take a look at the third blessing from justification.
!! *III.
**Justification Provides Hope of the Glory of God.  (Romans 5:2b)*
*Transition*:  Now that we have seen the blessing of hope of the glory of God, let’s take a look at the fourth blessing that we receive from justification. 
!! *IV.
**Justification Provides Glory in Tribulations.
(Romans 5:3-4)*
*Transition*:  Now that we have seen the blessing of glorying in tribulations, let’s take a look at the fifth blessing provided by justification.
!! *V.
**Justification Proves the Love of God.  (Romans 5:5-8)*
*Transition*: Now that we have seen the love of God proven by justification, let’s take a look at the sixth blessing we receive from justification. 
!! *VI.
**Justification Provides Salvation from Future Wrath.
(Romans 5:9-10)*
*Transition*:  Now that we have realized that believers are saved from future wrath through their justification, let’s take a look at the seventh and final blessing from our justification.
!! *VII.
**Justification Provides Reconciliation with God.  (Romans 5:11)*
* *
*Conclusion:  *Warren Wiersbe wrote in his book, /Be Right,/ that we “have a salvation that takes care of the past, the present, and the future.
Christ died for us; Christ lives for us; Christ is coming of us!  Hallelujah, what a Savior!”
 
*Application*:  The believer is to understand all the blessings received from justification.
What a privilege it is to be justified, declared righteous.
The Lord loves us and provides us with these blessings to help us here on earth.

\\ *Introduction*:  This summer was by far the most difficult summer I have ever had to deal with.

The beginning of Romans 5 deals with the blessings of our justification.
Justification is to be declared righteous by God.
Justification is by faith.
Warren Wiersbe says, “Our justification is not simply a guarantee of heaven, as thrilling as that is, but it is also the source of tremendous blessings that we can enjoy here and now.”
In fact, the first blessing that justification produces is peace with God.
*Transition*:  Now that we have seen the definition of justification, let us take a look at the first blessing.
Justification provides peace with God.
!! *I.
**Justification provides peace with God.  (Romans 5:1)*
Being justified by faith we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
The blessing of peace can be experienced right here on earth.
What kind of peace is this you might ask?
It is that peace that passes all understanding.
Philippians 4:6-7 states, “Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.  7) And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”
(KJV)   Peace from God will comfort you and guard your hearts and minds.
Now that we know what kind of peace this is, let us take a look at how we have this peace.
The Bible states in Romans 5:1, “Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
(KJV)  We have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
The Apostle Paul writes in Colossians 1:20, “And, having made peace through the blood of His cross, by Him to reconcile all things unto Himself; by Him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.”
We have this peace with God because of the blood that Jesus Christ shed on the cross.
When Jesus Christ died on the cross, He shed his blood in order to establish peace between sinful man and a righteous, holy God.  Warren Wiersbe puts this in simple words in his book, /The Bible Exposition Commentary/ when he writes, “Condemnation means that God declares us sinners, which is a declaration of war.
Justification means that God declares us righteous, which is a declaration of peace, made possible by Christ’s death on the cross.”
Aren’t you glad that the price for peace has been paid?
John Phillips wrote in his commentary, Exploring Romans, this peace “simply means that the war is over; the arms of rebellion have been laid down; God’s terms of amnesty have been accepted.”
The war is over!
Justification has provided peace with God. 
*Transition*:  Now that we have seen the blessing of peace through justification, let us take a look at the second blessing of Justification.
!! *II.
**Justification Provides Access to God. (Romans 5:2a)*
John Phillips gives this great illustration in his commentary, /Exploring Romans/, “A little boy once stood outside the gates of Buckingham palace in London.
He wanted to talk to the king but was sternly repulsed by the guard at the gate.
He rubbed a grimy hand to his cheek to wipe away a tear.
Just then along came a well-dressed man who asked the little fellow to explain his trouble.
When he heard the story, the man smiled and said, “Here, hold my hand, sonny.
I’ll get you in.
Just you never mind those soldiers.”
The little boy took the proffered hand and, to his surprise, saw the soldiers leap to attention and present arms as his new-found friend approached.
Past the guard he was led, along carpeted halls, through wide-flung doors and on through a glittering throng right up to the throne of the king.
He had taken the hand of the Prince of Wales, the king’s son!  Through him he had gained access.
It is a glorious thing to have acceptance, to know that the war is over and that God no longer looks upon us with disfavor and wrath.
It is far better to have access.
And those who have taken the pierced hand of the King’s Son have access indeed.
What a standing.”
Justification provides us with access to God.
We can boldly go to our Father who is in Heaven.
In fact, the Jew was kept from God’s presence by the veil in the temple, and the Gentile was kept out by a wall in the temple that warned them not to pass the wall or they would be killed.
But when Jesus died, He tore the veil and He tore down the wall.
