In Romans 5:1-5 Paul identifies the immediate result of being justified by faith which is the blessing of peace with God.
Waking up from a nightmare
You’re safe!
Realization based on reality
Immediate Result of Justification
This is Paul’s next point.
Our Standing (vv.
1-2)
“Therefore...” - summary statement of Romans 1-4
What do we have?
(v. 1)
“Peace” - “a state of concord, peace, harmony” or “a state of well-being, peace” (BDAG)
“With” - relationship (“reconcile” vv.
10-11 - “the exchange of hostility for a friendly relationship” BDAG)
“Through” - not us, but the only way - no arrogance
What does it mean?
(v. 2)
“Access” - introduction, admission, to speak with a superior (Ephesians 2:18; Ephesians 3:12)
Prayer, listening, benefits, relationship
“This grace” - that is, this peace with God (v.
1), undeserved, why it is “through...” (Hebrews 4:14–16)
“Stand” - “to be in a condition or state” (BDAG)
“Rejoice” - exult, glory, this is what we do because of what we have.
“Hope” - expectation; “glory” - exaltation of God and from God
Paul is telling them that if this is true…then this is what they have…and this what they can do...
If you can believe the one, you can believe other.
Our Suffering (vv.
3-5)
“Not only that” - there is additional significance to this...
“Rejoice” - exult, glory, honor, praise-worthy
“Suffering” - tribulation, pressure, affliction, trouble - for the cause of Christ, or just because of the curse of sin
A real standing for real suffering.
How can we rejoice in suffering?
(vv.
3-5a)
“Knowing” - understanding, recognizing, acknowledging, this is the rejoicing in suffering
“Produces” - brings about, there is a benefit (James 1:2–4)
“Endurance” - perseverance
“Character” - standing the test, proven genuineness
“Hope” - this is how it further connects to our standing, this is enhanced
“Does not put us to shame” - does not disappoint, or humiliate
It is not regrettable, it is not senseless or unreasonable
There is a certainty, without seeing
There is a good reason that believers hope in this way...
Why do we hope?
(v.
5b)
Because God has expressed His love in a way that we can sense.
Through the work of the Holy Spirit in our heart.
Paul we say more on this subject in chapter 8.
There is something to “see” now, though we cannot see yet what is to come (Ephesians 1:13–14).
The Constant Security
Benediction: Romans 11:33–36 “Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!
“For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counselor?”
“Or who has given a gift to him that he might be repaid?”
For from him and through him and to him are all things.
To him be glory forever.
Amen.”
