Romans 5:1-5
1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; 4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope: 5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

📜Rom 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
1️⃣justified:
✅(POSB NT Cmy) Justification (diakioun): to count someone righteous. It means to reckon, to credit, to account, to judge, to treat, to look upon as righteous.
✅(POSB NT Cmy) Justification is necessary because of the sin and alienation of man. Man has rebelled against God and taken his life into his own hands. Man lives as he desires...
• fulfilling the lust of the eyes and of the flesh
• clinging to the pride of life and to the things of the world.
✅1 Corinthians 6:9-11 (CWSB) we were
9 -- Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
✅2 Corinthians 5:19 (CWSB) But how
19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
✅Genesis 15:6 (CWSB) Abraham father of faith
6 And he believed in the Lord; and he counted it to him for righteousness.
✅Acts 13:39 (CWSB)Trusting God
39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.
2️⃣ we have peace with God:
🎯(POSB NT Cmy) Peace with God does not mean escapism, a quiet atmosphere, the absence of trouble, the control of situations by positive thinking, the denial of problems, the ability to keep from facing reality. Peace with God means the sense and knowledge...
• that one has restored his relationship with God
• that one is no longer alienated and separated from God
• that one is now reconciled with God
• that one is now accepted by God
• that one is freed from the wrath and judgment of God
• that one is freed from fearing God’s wrath and judgment
• that one is now pleasing God
• that one is at peace with God
🎯 (POSB NT Cmy) our new position
The source of peace is Jesus Christ. Men can have peace with God only because of Jesus Christ. It is He who reconciles men to God. He has made peace by the blood of His cross. (See notes, Propitiation.🎯Ephesians 2:14-15 (CWSB)
14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken do
