Romans 5:1-5 What does the Bible say about tribulations in life? God calls those things that are not as though they were. If we do the same, then this pleases God, which is called faith. So, we are proven righteous by calling those things that are not as though they were.
Now if we remain justified by faith, then we have peace with God. When we are going through something, our response as a result of our trial will be an indication where we stand with God. We do not have the option of being pessimistic because Christ commanded otherwise.
Have we ever noticed when we are going through something and we know God answer prayers, but we still yearn for human assurance? We know what the Bible says, but we’re still looking for somebody to relate to our situation.
The expectation of divine intervention, the hope that we have maketh not ashamed. We should never feel guilty about having faith in God. We should never feel shame or embarrass about the fact we are children of God.
We have hope because of the cross. Jesus died on the cross for our sins. It is by the cross God reconciled both Jew and Gentile into one body.
