Romans CH 5

Faith Triumphs

Chapter 4 we saw Abraham was used as an example of being Justified by Faith and not by circumcision

And So was David

and now were going to Look at chapter 5 where it is labeled faith triumphs in trouble in the first 5 verses

Romans 5:1 “1 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,”

what does it mean to truly have peace in this life ?

what is peace ?

it Means in simple terms that we are no longer at war with God through the death of Jesus on the cross

before Jesus died for us we were at odds

His death granted us the ability to be on the right side “the right team “

In the first 3 chapters we learned that we were guilty sinners before the Law of God

Jesus was sacrificed on behalf of those who did not love Him

He died for those who did not respect Him

He died for those who rejected Him

we went from being guilty sinners to being justified and justified by faith

Romans 5:2 “2 through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.”

Romans 5:3 “3 And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance;”

Romans 5:4 “4 and perseverance, character; and character, hope.”

Romans 5:5 “5 Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.”
