Stand
(From Forerunner Commentary)

Romans 5:2  (Go to this verse :: Verse pop-up) The word "stand" is translated from the Greek histemi, and in this context it means "to continue, endure, or persist." Our calling, election (Romans 11:5-6), repentance (Romans 2:4), and justification enable us to stand before God in the sense of being given access into His presence. After that, receiving the gift of His Spirit and continuing on to salvation itself are accomplished by means of grace. John W. Ritenbaugh Amazing Grace
