Romans 5:1
Reconciliation Through Christ
SUMMARY OF ROMANS 5: Justification by Faith. Peace, Hope, and Joy.
Christ Died for the Ungodly. His Surpassing Love. Death Through
Adam's Sin. Life Through Christ's Righteousness. Law and Grace.
Therefore being justified by faith. Paul has just shown that men
are counted righteous before God, not through obedience to the law, but
through faith in Christ. Not law, but faith justifies. The faith that
justifies is (1) a faith in Christ; (2) a faith of the heart (Romans 10:9)
which brings the whole life into obedience (Romans 1:5).
Peace with God. While sinners, we are rebels against God. When
our rebellion ceases and we are forgiven we are at peace. This blessed
peace with God, which brings peace to the soul, is through Jesus
Christ.
