Romans 5:7-8

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

Sermon Bible Commentary - Romans 5:7-8

Romans 5:7-8 God's Love Magnified in Christ's Death. I. In considering how God appointed our Lord and Saviour to suffering and death as the most perfect proof of obedience, it seems necessary to begin by removing a difficulty which will certainly occur to every one: that is, that the death of the Saviour seems by no means so obvious an evidence of the love of God, His and our heavenly Father, as of the Saviour's own love to His brethren; and that it is only, as it were, on the ground of His... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Romans 5:8

Romans 5:8 What Proves God's Love? I. It is a strange thing that the love of God needs to be either proved or pressed upon men. (1) There never was, there is not, any religion untouched by Christianity that has any firm grip of the truth "God is love." (2) Even among ourselves and other people that have drunk in some form of Christianity with their mother's milk, it is the hardest possible thing even for men who do accept that gospel in their hearts to keep themselves up to the level of that... read more

DISCOURSE: 1841THE BELIEVER’S SECURITY IN CHRISTRomans 5:6-10. For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. for if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God 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

By nature all men are ungodly. Ungodliness takes a great many forms.1. In some it is lawlessness. It is seen in the breach of every Divine commandment.(1) Idolatry is the sin of hundreds of thousands during every hour of time.(2) Swearing and impiety load... read more

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. We read of dangers encountered, sufferings endured, for the purpose of rescuing others from destruction; but seldom of devotion to death, in order to deliver a fellow mortal from the... read more
