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.

Romans 5:6-12For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.Without strengthUtter condemnation and loss lies in that little word “not.” “Ungodly,” or not godly, is to be strengthless, condemned, and lost.I.

Romans 5:7-8For scarcely for a righteous man will one die … but God commendeth His love.Human and Divine love contrastedI. The love of man to his fellow creatures (Romans 5:7). You may find in history generosity and gratitude manifested by the greatest of all sacrifices--that of life. But such instances are rare.

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Romans 5:8

8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Ver. 8. God commendeth, &c. ] Herein God lays naked to us the tenderest heart of his fatherly compassions, as in an anatomy. A young student in history (saith Polybius) should have the whole history of the world under his view; and should reduce all into one body. a God, by giving his Son for us, showed us all his love at once, as it were embodied. All other spiritual blessings meet in this,... read more

But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.But God recommendeth — A most elegant expression.
