Romans 5:8

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Romans 5:1-21

Rom 5:1-11 1. Therefore being justified by faith [justified therefore by faith], we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2. By whom also we have access [through whom also we have had our introduction] by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3. And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; 4. And patience, experience [approval]; and experience, hope: 5. And hope maketh not ashamed; because... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Romans 5:6-11

For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. (7) For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. (8) But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. (9) Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. (10) For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Romans 5:6-11

6-11 Christ died for sinners; not only such as were useless, but such as were guilty and hateful; such that their everlasting destruction would be to the glory of God's justice. Christ died to save us, not in our sins, but from our sins; and we were yet sinners when he died for us. Nay, the carnal mind is not only an enemy to God, but enmity itself, chap. Romans 8:7; Colossians 1:21. But God designed to deliver from sin, and to work a great change. While the sinful state continues, God loathes... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Romans 5:1-99

Romans 5 WE MAY USE the words, “justified by faith,” in two senses. By simple faith in Christ. and in God who raised Him from the dead, we are justified, and this whether we have the happy assurance of it in our hearts or not. But then, in the second place, it is by faith that we know that we are justified. Not by feelings nor by visions or other subjective impressions, but by faith in God and in His Word. As the result of our justification we have peace with God. Observe the distinction... read more

The basis of the Christian's hope: v. 5. Because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. v. 6.

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Romans 5:1-11

Ninth Section.—The fruit of justification: Peace with God, and the development of the new life into the experience of Christian hope. The new worship of Christians: They have the free access to grace into the Holy of holies. Therefore they rejoice in the hope of the glory of God, and of the revelation of the real Shekinah of God in the real Holy of holies. They even glory in tribulation also, by which this hope is consummated. The love of God in Christ as security for the realization of... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Romans 5:8

Romans WHAT PROVES GOD’S LOVE Rom_5:8 . We have seen in previous sermons on the preceding context that the Apostle has been tracing various lines of sequence, all of which converge upon Christian hope. The last of these pointed to the fact that the love of God, poured into a heart like oil into a lamp, brightened that flame; and having thus mentioned the great Christian revelation of God as love, Paul at once passes to emphasise the historical fact on which the conviction of that love... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Romans 5:1-11

Great Blessings through Christ Romans 5:1-11 We stand in grace; we look for glory. Our standing is sure, although apart from our feelings or deserts. It is ours forever, through union with the living Christ. It is our admission to the home of God’s elect. We have passed the threshold and have received, in the antechamber, the new white robe. But being in the house we find several stories or tiers of ascent. They are marked by the phrases, not only so and much more. Starting from faith, the... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Romans 5:1-21

The apostle now dealt with the values of justification. The value to the individual is a threefold blessing. This nature as to cause the heart to rejoice. The apostle now showed the difference between the first and second man, the first and last Adam, in their race headship and the results produced by each. The whole argument is based on the literal accuracy of the account of the fall of man chronicled in Genesis, the apostle making no fewer than nine references thereto in so short a passage.... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Romans 5:1-11

The Great Salvation Romans 5:1-11 INTRODUCTORY WORDS 1. God's story of sin. The fifth chapter of Romans is God's great climactic of the theme of redemption. Earlier chapters of the Book of Romans set forth the story of sin in all its heinousness. The Gentile world is declared unto sin. The Jewish world is then set forth under the same flaring headlines. Following is a conclusion in chapter 3 that "all have sinned" and every mouth is stopped. The whole world stands guilty before God. God... read more
