ROMANS CHAPTER 5
Rom_5:1 Being justified by faith, we have peace with God,
Rom_5:2 we glory in our hopes,
Rom_5:3-5 and in present afflictions,
Rom_5:6-10 from the best experience of God’s love, looking with
more assurance for final salvation.
Rom_5:11 we glory in God also, to whom we are reconciled by Christ.
Rom_5:12-19 As sin and death came upon all men by Adam, so the
grace of God, which justifieth unto life, cometh more
abundantly unto all mankind through Christ.
Rom_5:20,21 Under the law sin abounded unto death; but grace hath
much more abounded unto life.
Hitherto of the cause and manner of our justification; now follow the benefits and effects.
Being justified by faith; as he had before asserted and proved particularly, in Rom_3:28 4:24.
We have peace with God; i.e. we have reconciliation with God, who before were utter enemies to him, Col_1:21; he is now become our Friend, as he was Abraham’s.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, who is the only Mediator of reconciliation: see 2Co_5:19 Eph_2:14-16 Col_1:20 1Ti_2:5.
