Romans 5:2
We continue with Paul’s argument, explaining justification by faith. Being justified by faith, we are created in Christ Jesus to be fruitful. God has ordained good works beforehand that we should walk in them. Scripture states that faith is a necessity in the lives of believers: “without faith it is impossible to please God …” (Heb. 11:6 AMP).
Therefore, being justified by faith, we not only have peace through our Lord Jesus Christ, but we have access by faith, into this grace in which we stand… (v.2a). How blessed are we, being privileged to enter into our Father’s presence. Safe in His presence, we have the gift of His undying love and ongoing favor! “This grace in which we stand and rejoice in hope of the glory of God,” (v.2b) puts believers in the unique position that only those who trust Him and obey His commands can occupy. In our relationship with God, we have the assurance that by faiththrough our Lord Jesus Christ, He will lead us through the good and the bad.
Believers endure tough times through Christ because we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Believers rejoice in the confident expectation that God’s glory will manifest in their lives. They want to be more like Jesus. Therefore, “Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind …” (Rom. 12:2a). While we were God’s enemies, He reconciled us to Him through the death of His Son that we might be saved (v.10). Today, rejoice and celebrate God the Father.
Lift your voice and shout, “Glory!”
