Here are 5 encouraging promises from Romans chapter five that will lift your spirits.
1. We have peace with God through Jesus Christ:
In Romans 5:1, Paul writes, “Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” This means that through faith in Jesus, we are reconciled with God and no longer separated from him by our sin.
2. We have hope in God’s love:
In Romans 5:5, Paul writes, “And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.” This means that we can have confidence in God’s love for us, even when we struggle or face difficult circumstances because the Holy Spirit testifies to it in our hearts.
3. We can rejoice in suffering:
In Romans 5:3-4, Paul writes, “Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.” This means that even when we face suffering, we can find hope and purpose in it because it can help us grow and mature in our faith.
4. We are saved by grace:
In Romans 5:8, Paul writes, “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” This means that we are saved not by our own merit or works, but by God’s grace and the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross.
5. We have been reconciled to God:
In Romans 5:10, Paul writes, “For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!” This means that through Jesus’ death and resurrection, we have been brought back into a right relationship with God, and we can have hope for eternal life with him.
