5 Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us. 2 Because of our faith, Christ has brought us into this place of undeserved privilege where we now stand, and we confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God’s glory.
3 We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. 4 And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation.
Romans 5:1-4
Romans 5:1-4 teaches that through faith in Christ, we are justified, have peace with God, access to His grace, and a hope that sustains us through trials, as we experience the love of God through the Holy Spirit.
We are made right with God (justified) by our faith in Jesus Christ, not by our own works or merits. This faith brings us into a right relationship with God. Because of our justification, we have peace with God. This means we are no longer under God's wrath, but instead enjoy a harmonious relationship with Him.
Through faith in Christ, we have access to God's grace, which sustains and empowers us to live as Christians. We have a confident hope in the glory of God, which is a source of joy and encouragement.
Even in the midst of trials and sufferings, we can rejoice because we know that these experiences produce endurance, which strengthens our faith and character. As our character is refined through suffering, it produces a hope that is not based on circumstances, but on the assurance of God's love and faithfulness. We know He is working in our lives, developing our character.
The Holy Spirit has poured out God's love into our hearts, assuring us of His care and affection, even in the midst of difficulties.
