Romans 5:3-5

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Romans 5:1-11

Ninth Section.—The fruit of justification: Peace with God, and the development of the new life into the experience of Christian hope. The new worship of Christians: They have the free access to grace into the Holy of holies. Therefore they rejoice in the hope of the glory of God, and of the revelation of the real Shekinah of God in the real Holy of holies. They even glory in tribulation also, by which this hope is consummated. The love of God in Christ as security for the realization of... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Romans 5:3-4

Romans THE SOURCES OF HOPE Rom_5:2 - Rom_5:4 . We have seen in a previous sermon that the Apostle in the foregoing context is sketching a grand outline of the ideal Christian life, as all rooted in ‘being justified by faith,’ and flowering into ‘peace with God,’ ‘access into grace,’ and a firm stand against all antagonists and would-be masters. In our text he advances to complete the outline by sketching the true Christian attitude towards the future. I have ventured to take so pregnant and... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Romans 5:5

Job - Romans TWO KINDS OF HOPE A THREEFOLD CORD Rom_5:5 . We have seen in former sermons that, in the previous context, the Apostle traces Christian hope to two sources: one, the series of experiences which follow ‘being justified by faith’ and the other, those which follow on trouble rightly borne. Those two golden chains together hold up the precious jewel of hope. But a chain that is to bear a weight must have a staple, or it will fall to the ground. And so Paul here turns to yet another... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Romans 5:1-11

Great Blessings through Christ Romans 5:1-11 We stand in grace; we look for glory. Our standing is sure, although apart from our feelings or deserts. It is ours forever, through union with the living Christ. It is our admission to the home of God’s elect. We have passed the threshold and have received, in the antechamber, the new white robe. But being in the house we find several stories or tiers of ascent. They are marked by the phrases, not only so and much more. Starting from faith, the... read more

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 5:5

THE GIVER AND THE GIFT‘Because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.’ Romans 5:5 All the various writers of the New Testament are agreed upon this one point. From whatever standpoint the writer approaches the mystery of the Incarnation and its message to the world of men, his mind converges to a centre common to all, that Love is the greatest of all Christian virtues. I. Love is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost.—It does not belong... read more

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
