INTRODUCTION TO Romans 5 The Apostle having clearly stated, and fully proved the doctrine of justification by the righteousness of faith, proceeds to observe the comfortable fruits and effects of this great blessing, known and enjoyed by the believer; as also the source and spring of it, the love of God, which appears in the death of Christ, in the room and stead of his people, which is the...
John Gill
Much more then being now justified by his blood,.... The apostle here argues from justification by Christ to salvation by him, there being a certain and inseparable connection between these two; whoever is justified shall be saved; and speaks of justification "as being now by his blood". Justification in God's mind from eternity proceeded upon the suretyship engagements of Christ to be performed...
Matthew Henry
The apostle, having made good his point, and fully proved justification by faith, in this chapter proceeds in the explication, illustration, and application of that truth. I. He shows the fruits of justification, ver. 1-5. II. He shows the fountain and foundation of justification in the death of Jesus Christ, which he discourses of at large in the rest of the chapter. Justification and Its...
Charles H. Spurgeon
Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. You see the force of the argument. If he loved us when we were still dead in sin, much more will he keep us and preserve us now that he hath justified us. Were his enemies redeemed? Shall not his friends be kept? Did he love those who were still far off? Will be not love those who are brought near, and...
Charles H. Spurgeon
Much more than, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. This is a fine piece of argument, and strictly logical. If, when we were sinners, Christ died for us, will he let us be condemned now that he has washed us in his precious blood? Is it possible that, after dying for us, he will let us fall from grace, and perish after all? That will never be. Notice the...
Charles H. Spurgeon
Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. This is a resistless argument, and should be the deathblow to all misgiving. If he died for us when we were unjust, will he let us perish now that he has made us just, and completely justified us? Impossible!
Charles H. Spurgeon
Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. See; it is a less thing for God to preserve us when we are justified than it is for him to justify us while we are yet sinners. The final perseverance of the saints may well be argued from their conversion, their entrance into glory is guaranteed by the ransom price that Christ has paid for their...
Charles H. Spurgeon
Much more then, See how the apostle, when he had uttered a great truth, proceeds to say, something greater still. Just before, he had written, “And not only so,” and now he says, “Much more then,” Rom_5:9. Being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. If Christ died for us when we were sinners, will he not save us now that he has made us saints? If, when we were...
Charles H. Spurgeon
Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. He died for us when we were unrighteous; so, now that he has made us righteous in his own righteousness, he will never cast us away. That doctrine of believers falling from grace, and perishing, is clean contrary to Scripture: “Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath...
Charles H. Spurgeon
Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. As he died for us, he will certainly save us. He who died for the ungodly will never cast away those whom he has justified. The death of Christ for his own people is the guarantee that he will love them even to the end.
Charles H. Spurgeon
Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. “Much more.” Paul has been giving us “alsos” and “ands”; now he takes a bigger leap still, for he says, “Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.” If he saved us when we were sinners, he will certainly save us now that we are justified. If he called us...
Charles H. Spurgeon
For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. What an argument this is for the final safety of believers! If Christ died for us when we were enemies,...
Charles H. Spurgeon
Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. Did he die for us while we were sinners? Will he not, then, surely keep us now that we are Saved? Yes, that he will.
