Expositor's Bible Commentary - Romans 5:1-11

Chapter 12PEACE, LOVE, AND JOY FOR THE JUSTIFIEDRomans 5:1-11WE reached a pause in the Apostle’s thought with the close of the last paragraph. We may reverently imagine, as in spirit we listen to his dictation, that a pause comes also in his work; that he is silent, and Tertius puts down the pen, and they spend their hearts awhile on worshipping recollection and realisation. The Lord delivered up; His people justified; the Lord risen again, alive for evermore-here was matter for love, joy, and... read more

CHAPTER 5:1-11 1. What Justification Includes. 1-11. The blessed results of justification are next revealed. What justified believers possess and what they may enjoy is the theme of the opening verses of this chapter. The first thing mentioned is that all who are justified by faith have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Peace was made in the blood of the Cross, He who died for our sins is our peace. His greeting to the assembled disciples on the resurrection day was “Peace be unto... read more

Geneva Study Bible - Romans 5:1

5:1 Therefore being {1} justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:(1) Another argument taken from the effects: we are justified with that which truly appeases our conscience before God: and faith in Christ does appease our conscience and not the law, as it was said before, therefore by faith we are justified, and not by the law. read more

Geneva Study Bible - Romans 5:2

5:2 {2} By whom also we {a} have access by faith into this grace {b} wherein we {c} stand, {3} and {d} rejoice in hope of the glory of God.(2) Whereas quietness of conscience is attributed to faith, it is to be referred to Christ, who is the giver of faith itself, and in whom faith itself is effectual.(a) We must know by this, that we still receive the same effect from faith.(b) By which grace, that is, by which gracious love and good will, or that state unto which we are graciously taken.(c)... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 5:1-21

Blessings Attending Justification Now as to the means and assurance of present justification, every question has been answered, every doubt fully banished by simple, straightforward truth. Thus every obstacle cleared away, the apostle turns to the joyous work of giving the effects of this justification in its present manifold blessing. This he does in the first eleven verses of Romans 5:1-21. (Verse 12 introduces a new subject, dealing, not with justification from sins, but with the... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Romans 5:1-11

THE GIFT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS If a righteousness were not obtainable by the words of the law as we saw in our last lesson, then a Jew especially might well ask in surprise how it were obtainable. To which the apostle replies, that “now apart from the law a righteousness of God is manifested,” (Romans 3:21 RV), i.e., a righteousness which may become man’s without the keeping of the law. This righteousness he describes as: “Witnessed by the law and the prophets,” in other words, taught in the Old... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Romans 5:1

The apostle proceeds in this chapter to shew how great a benefit it is to be truly justified by the coming of Christ. --- Let us have [1] peace with God. That is, says St. John Chrysostom, by laying aside all contentions. Or let us have peace with God by sinning no more. And this peace we may have under the greatest tribulations, which conduce to our greater good, to an increase in virtues, in patience, in hope, in the love of God, &c.
