Romans 5 1-2
Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
Paul has built his case for justification by faith from the life of Abraham in Romans 4. We are justified by faith! We are saved and redeemed by his mercy!
Romans 4:3
For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.
Not only does justification affect our spiritual life and life after death but it also affects the way we live now! The just live differently. Justification carries blessings!
Help for today and hope for tomorrow!
Peace with God
The Justified have peace with God!
-Before Justification we were enemies
Romans 5:10, Romans 8:7
For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
Isaiah 48:22
There is no peace, saith the Lord, unto the wicked.
Thanks to the work of Jesus we are no longer enemies but rather have peace with God!
1 John 1:1-4
That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;) That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.
Jesus didn't condemn he justified!
John 3:16-17
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
Access to God
Access to God had been rare since the fall of man
The temple veil separated people from God
Day of atonement
The work of Christ brings access
Luke 24:45- He tore the veil
Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,
Ephesians 2:14 - REMOVED THE WALL
For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;
We now have unlimited access!
Ephesians 2:18
For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
Hebrews 10:19-20
Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;
We are no longer enemies of God rather sons of the king!
With that comes unhindered access
1 Peter 5:7
Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
Use your access and stand in it
Hebrews 4:16
Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
Hope
past-Peace- He won’t hold our sin against us
Present- Access-We can have fellowship with him
Future- Hope- We will see his glory
We rejoice in his glory!
It’s the only glory!
We fell short and have none!
Romans 3:23
God’s glory is what brings us joy!
Because of what he has done we can endure and weather storms! Trust him! Get Justified! Stand before him!
