Faith Triumphs in Trouble

1 Therefore, ahaving been justified by faith,1 we have bpeace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,  
2 athrough whom also we have access by faith into this grace bin which we stand, and crejoice in hope of the glory of God.  
3 And not only that, but awe also glory in tribulations, bknowing that tribulation produces1 perseverance;  
4 aand perseverance,1 character; and character, hope.  
5 aNow hope does not disappoint, bbecause the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.  

Christ in Our Place

6 For when we were still without strength,1 in due time aChrist died for the ungodly.  
7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die.
8 But aGod demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.  
9 Much more then, having now been justified aby His blood, we shall be saved bfrom wrath through Him.  
10 For aif when we were enemies bwe were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved cby His life.  
11 And not only that, but we also arejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.

12 Therefore, just as athrough one man sin entered the world, and bdeath through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned—

Romans 5:1

Romans 5:1 Reconciliation Through Christ SUMMARY OF ROMANS 5: Justification by Faith. Peace, Hope, and Joy. Christ Died for the Ungodly. His Surpassing Love. Death Through Adam's Sin. Life Through Christ's Righteousness. Law and Grace. Therefore being justified by faith. Paul has just shown that men are counted righteous before God, not through obedience to the law, but through faith in Christ. Not law, but faith justifies. The faith that justifies is (1) a faith in Christ; (2) a faith of the heart (Romans 10:9) which brings the whole life into obedience (Romans 1:5). Peace with God. While sinners, we are rebels against God. When our rebellion ceases and we are forgiven we are at peace. This blessed peace with God, which brings peace to the soul, is through Jesus Christ.
