Romans 5:1

Romans 5:1. Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

These are matters of fact; not of fanatical delusion, but of logical conclusion, for Paul begins with a "therefore." God’s people are justified on solid grounds, on reasonable grounds, on grounds that will bear the test even of the last great judgment day. "therefore, being " - now, at the present time, this very moment, - " justified by faith, we have peace:" not only we hope to have it, and trust we shall have it, but we have it. "We have peace," - not only peace of conscience, and peace with our fellow-men, but "we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.:’ Mark that; we have it. O dear people of God, do not be satisfied unless you can talk in this confident fashion: "therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ."
