Romans 5:1

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Romans 5:1-4

CRITICAL NOTESRomans 5:1.—We have peace, for Christ is our peace. Several manuscripts translate, “Let us have peace,” adopted by the R.V. Justification here spoken of as an act already done—i.e., when we laid hold of Christ by faith. Faith is the key of knowledge, and makes us children of God (Clem. Rom.).Romans 5:2.—Implies dignity, firmness to resist, preparation for further walk and work. δόξης τοῦ Θεοῦ—the expression denotes the heavenly existence of God, to share which is the highest good... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Romans 5:1

Romans 5:1 I. We read in the New Testament, and especially in the writings of St. Paul, a good deal of the doctrine of justification by faith. Now, is there any distinction between this doctrine of justification, between this blessing of justification, and the blessing of pardon? Is pardon synonymous with justification? I take it that, while justification always involves pardon, and while in the case of an individual sinner it is never separated from pardon, and the pardoned man is always... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Romans 5:1-2

Romans 5:1-2 The State of Grace. There are some who seem only to fear or to have very little joy in religion. These are in a more hopeful state than those who only joy and do not fear at all; yet they are not altogether in a right state. Let us consider how the persons in question come to have this defective kind of religion. I. In the first place, of course, we must take into account bodily disorder, which is not unfrequently the cause of this perplexity of mind. Many persons have an anxious... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Romans 5:1-11

Romans 5:1-11 Immediate Results of Justification. To be acquitted of guilt through the death of Jesus is the most elementary blessing which the gospel brings to our condemned race, shut up in its prison-house of wrath. But it cannot come alone. It opens a door of hope through which each reconciled sinner may look forward unto a new world of lovely blessings following in its train. Hope is the keyword of this section, therefore exultant hope of future glory; and the three ideas which... read more

DISCOURSE: 1840BENEFITS ARISING FROM A JUSTIFYING FAITHRomans 5:1-5. Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: by whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; and patience, experience; and experience, hope: and hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Romans 5:1-21

Shall we turn now in our Bibles to the fifth chapter of Romans.Since chapter 3 Paul has been talking about justification by faith. How that God has declared me innocent because of my faith in Jesus Christ. Believing that He took my sin and died in my place; He became my substitute. He took God's judgment for my sin. He bore it for me. By my believing in Him, God declares me innocent of all charges, justified by faith.In chapter 4 he illustrates from the Old Testament, from Abraham, the truth of... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Romans 5:1-21

Romans 5:1 . Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God. Faith in the atonement removes the guilt of sin, and makes us heirs of all the promised righteousness of God; the prodigals are brought home to their Father’s house with joy. Justification is never alone; all the graces follow in clusters, with privileges of the highest order. The apostle, still keeping the jews in his eye, seems to ask the grand question; What need then for christians so justified and ennobled to be... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Romans 5:1

Romans 5:1Therefore being justified by faith.JustificationWe have here--I. A state or condition--“justified.” This implies--1. Previous dishonour. A truly righteous character needs no justification.2. Complete satisfaction. A man who owes a debt can only be justified when that debt is paid; although it need not be paid by himself.3. Perfect restoration--to all rights, privileges, position, etc. Justification does not mean righteousness. A man is justified although he is defiled in sin. The... read more

We have peace with God ] A blessed calm lodged in our consciences; like as when Jonah was cast overboard, there followed a tranquillity.
