From Problems To Peace
Romans 5:1-5
Day 180

My quiet time this morning lead me gently by the hand into Romans chapter 5. The first five verses are rich and full of goodness. So good I could actually park it right here in my big green Bible on page 1294 for weeks and never get tired of it.
I just may do that to enjoy the flavor of these words. Sinking my teeth into it's message a little deeper everyday, chewing on chapter 5 like a piece of turkey jerky. Sounds like a plan. 



Romans 5:1-5
Therefore since we have been made right in God's sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us. Because of our faith, Christ has brought us into this place of undeserved privilege where we now stand, and we confidently and joyfully look forward forward to sharing God's glory. 


We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love. 


We must believe with our whole heart.
Faith is an amazing thing.
