Word of life – Rom 5:1-2a
“Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God
through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also
we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand.” (Rom 5:1-2a NKJ)
What is emphasized?
We have been justified by faith. Through faith in Jesus Christ we have peace with God and access into grace.
Faith in Jesus Christ is the saving faith. Sin causes death, enmity with God, and it gives the record of our debt into the hands of the enemy of man who then demands our just punishment. It is true for everyone who believes in Jesus that the record of his debt was cancelled on the cross. Through the Blood of our Saviour we found peace with God, for our soul was cleansed from every sin. “By Him He reconciled all things to Himself, having made peace through the blood of His cross.” (Col 1:20)
