Romans 5:1

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

Romans 5:1. Therefore being justified by faith, -

But why "therefore"? Because of the verge preceding it: "Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification." Christ died to atone for our sins, Christ rose again to secure our justification, "Therefore being justified by faith," -

Romans 5:1. We have peace with God through our lord Jesus Christ;

We have peace, we know that we have, we enjoy it, it is not a thing of the future, we have peace, a deep calm like that which came to the disciples when Christ hushed the winds and waves to sleep. "We have peace with God," his peace has entered into us, we possess it now; but it is all "through our Lord Jesus Christ." It is all war apart from him, but all peace through him. We poor sinners, being justified by faith, have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
