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 5:5

And hope maketh not ashamed; it doth not disappoint or deceive us. Frustrated hopes fill men with shame and confusion, Job 6:19,Job 6:20. This passage seems to be taken out of Psalms 22:5. Because, &c.; this is either rendered as the reason of all that went before; Therefore the justified by faith have peace with God, access to him by faith, hope of glory, joy in tribulation, &c., because the love of God is shed abroad in their hearts: or else it is a reason of what immediately... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Romans 5:5

CRITICAL NOTESRomans 5:5.—The love of God has been poured forth as in a stream (Wordsworth).MAIN HOMILETICS OF THE PARAGRAPH.—Romans 5:5A hope without shame.—The Christian never finds this world to be his rest. But he has a hope full of immortality. This enlightens his darkness and alleviates his sorrow. Like a helmet, it guards in the day of battle; like an anchor, it secures in the storms of adversity; like a pleasing companion, it travels with him through all the tediousness of the world,... 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.

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 5:5

Romans 5:5And hope maketh not ashamed. Christian, hopeThere is no word more beautiful than “hope.” It is alight with the radiance of futurity; in it murmurs a prophetic music of good times coming. Its influence upon mankind it is impossible to over-estimate. As it has waxed or waned, society has risen or declined. The sinfulness of the first pair threatened life with a collapse; but in the first promise the day star of humanity arose. A watery deluge rolled around the world; and in the solitary... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Romans 5:5

5 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. Ver. 5. Hope maketh not ashamed ] As among men, many lie languishing at hope’s hospital, as he did at the pool of Bethesda,John 5:1-9; John 5:1-9 , and return as they did from the brooks of Tema, Job 6:17 . Or, as men go to a lottery with heads full of hopes, but return with hearts full of blanks. The Dutch have a proverb to this purpose, Sperare et expectare, multos... read more
