Amos 6 & 7, Romans 4: 16-25, Romans 5: 1-11, Psalm 107: 1-9
Romans 5: 1 (ESV)
“Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have
peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
Verse 1 from Romans 5 gives us Paul’s first benefit of the argument
he has been making to the church in Rome that he wanted to visit. Paul’s
argument is that the only way of salvation is to be justified by grace through
faith. We are justified by grace through faith because Christ died for our sins.
We have peace with God because Jesus paid for our sins in full by his death on
the cross. Because of Christ’s sacrifice, we will no longer battle with God because
of our sinful nature. But this peace with God doesn’t mean peace with everything
else in our life. We will still have
troubles with the world, with our desires, or with our sinful nature. Life will
unfortunately always be a battle, but our battle with God is over and we die we
will live forever with Christ.
