The good news
Intro:
What is the problem with the world?
Romans 5:1-11
Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace* with
God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us. 2 Because of our faith,
Christ has brought us into this place of undeserved privilege where we now stand, and
we confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God’s glory.
3 We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that
they help us develop endurance. 4 And endurance develops strength of character, and
character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. 5 And this hope will not lead to
disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the
Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.
6 When we were utterly helpless, Christ came at just the right time and died for
us sinners. 7 Now, most people would not be willing to die for an upright person,
though someone might perhaps be willing to die for a person who is especially good.
8 But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were
still sinners. 9 And since we have been made right in God’s sight by the blood of
Christ, he will certainly save us from God’s condemnation. 10 For since our friendship
with God was restored by the death of his Son while we were still his enemies, we will
certainly be saved through the life of his Son. 11 So now we can rejoice in our
wonderful new relationship with God because our Lord Jesus Christ has made us
friends of God.
