The Blame Game – Romans 5:1-3
Vs 1 – Paul begins this chapter with the thought that we
have been justified which means to be free of guilt or blame and to be made
right. This process happened through the
avenue of faith. The results of this act
brought peace with God. You are no
longer at war with God but are at peace with Him. This was brought through our Lord Jesus
Christ. It is through Him we have these
graces.
Vs 2 – You have gained this access to God through
faith. Paul says we are made right
through faith and faith alone. We are
now walking in the grace of God. Grace
is more than unmerited favor. It is a
complete position of blessing and divine favor.
Paul says we stand in this. It is
our title position and our residence.
This allows us rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. The characteristics, nature and essence of
God are our hope in this journey of life.
Vs 3 – So we have the ability to endure suffering in any
form because we know that suffering produces perseverance. Jesus learned obedience by what He suffered
and so will we.
