Romans 5:1

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 5:1-5

Much More the Grace of God Romans 5:1-5 , Romans 5:15-21 INTRODUCTORY WORDS We have before us today portions of Romans for our study. The Epistle of Paul to the Romans carries with it one of God's supreme messages for saints. Three great facts stand before us: (1) The fact of sin, with its universality. (2) The fact of redemption, through the Calvary work of Christ, where grace is supreme. (3) The fact of the victorious life in Christ Jesus, through the Spirit. A fourth message that stands... 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

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Romans 5:1

PEACE WITH GOD‘Being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.’Romans 5:1What St. Paul reminds us of in this text is that just as God has a never-failing store of grace and power for the strengthening and reviving of our spiritual life, so also He has an inexhaustible reserve of peace from which we have only to draw in order to be reassured and comforted. I. God has a process not mechanical, but in the natural order of His providential dealing with the soul... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Romans 5:1-5

PRESENT PRIVILEGES OF THE JUSTIFIED‘Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.… And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.’ Romans 5:1-Deuteronomy : These five verses describe the present life of the justified believer, and teach the new position of those who are justified through faith. In the five verses there are five blessings described. Let us consider each of... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 5:1

‘Having therefore been accounted as in the right by faith, we have peace with God (or ‘let us continue to have peace with God’) through our Lord Jesus Christ,’ Paul now explains that because we have been accounted as righteous once for all (made acceptable in God’s eyes through the gift of His righteousness) through believing in ‘our Lord, Jesus Christ’ we have peace with God. His anger at sin is no longer directed against us, the enmity against sin has been removed, and we are reconciled to... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 5:1-11

The Direct Consequence Of Our Being Accounted as Righteous Through Faith (5:1-11). Paul now outlines some of the consequences of our being ‘accounted as righteous’ through faith. These he represents as follows: 1) We have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 5:1). 2) We have access by faith into the grace in which we now stand (Romans 5:2). 3) We rejoice in the hope of the glory of God (Romans 5:2). 4) We rejoice in tribulation because of what we know it will work within us... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 5:1-21

Salvation To The Uttermost (5:1-8:39). The depths of our sin having been revealed in Romans 1:17 to Romans 3:23, and Jesus Christ’s activity, (His activity in bringing about our salvation through the cross by means of the reckoning to us of His righteousness by faith), having been made known in Romans 3:24 to Romans 4:25, Paul now sets about demonstrating the consequences of this for all true believers (Romans 5:1 to Romans 8:39). He wants us immediately to recognise that being ‘accounted as... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 5:1-5

Romans 5:1-Deuteronomy : . The Fruits of Justifying Faith. Romans 5:1-Exodus : a . “ Since then we have been justified,” etc., recapitulates Romans 3:22 to Romans 4:25. The apodosis (according to the best-attested reading, RV) is hortatory: “ Let us abide in peace with God,” etc.; the Greek tense implies a continued state, as in Acts 9:31 (RV). The qualifying clause, “ through whom indeed we have got our introduction,” etc., warrants a steady peace with God: led by Christ’ s hand into the... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Romans 5:1

Hitherto of the cause and manner of our justification; now follow the benefits and effects. Being justified by faith; as he had before asserted and proved particularly, in Romans 3:28; Romans 4:24. We have peace with God; i.e. we have reconciliation with God, who before were utter enemies to him, Colossians 1:21; he is now become our Friend, as he was Abraham’s. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, who is the only Mediator of reconciliation: see 2 Corinthians 5:19; Ephesians 2:14-16; Colossians 1:20;... read more
