The Roman Epistle to the Church #7

Rom 5: 1-13 Neil Woodbury

In chapter 5 we find the Apostle teaching that: being justified out of faith, we have peace with God through the Lord Jesus Christ. Sometimes I wonder if the world of many Christian people have forgotten these points.

1. Apart from the blood of Christ – men live in war with the God of Heaven – lost!

2. Only through Christ and being born out of above through the will of the Father can anyone truly have peace with God.

I. Glorying in tribulations!

a. Read Rom. 5: 3-8

b. Tribulations maketh patience; patience worketh experience; experience, hope maketh not ashamed. All through the Love of God.

c. Salvation is offered to the ungodly, NOT on their terms – but through Christ alone and God’s terms of Pardon. God’s love towards mankind.

II. Saved from God’s wrath, through Christ’s blood

a. Read Rom. 5: 9-13

b. Only those covered by the Blood of Christ will be saved from God’s wrath; this is the condition of being “In Christ”.

c. Joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ!
