The David Alliance

Garth Heckman

Romans 4… Abraham was given a promise… he did not lose hope through all the trials and tribulations. 

v. 18 even when there was no reason to hope, he still hoped, no reason to expect he expected 

No reason to believe, he believed….

SO Chapter 5….

Romans 5

1 Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God (so things should be good now… we got peace - Right?) 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.
