PEACE, ACCESS, AND HOPE
Romans 5:1-5
Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope. 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.
Encouraging Words
When we live lives of faith in our God, He makes righteousness a reality in our lives. Through Jesus Christ and His works of incarnation, death, burial, and resurrection, we who put our faith in Him are justified in the eyes of God. We can live our lives in peace with God. Through Jesus Christ we have access into the grace of God and can rejoice in the hope of His glory. We can also take glory in the tribulations of this earthly life knowing that the tribulations produce within us perseverance, then character, then hope. This a hope that does not disappoint but gives us God's love poured out upon us. Glory be to God!
