  7. Romans 5:1 – The War is Over! We are accepted in His sight!

  8. Romans 5:1 – The War is Over! Yay for verb tenses! “Having been…have”

  9. Romans 5:1 – The War is Over! No believer has any charges against them!

  10. Romans 5:1 – The War is Over! How can eternal life be lost???

  11. Romans 5:1b-2 – Three Benefits Peace with God Access to grace Joy in the expectation of future glory

  12. Romans 5:1b-2 – Three Benefits Peace with God God’s anger towards us is abated Our justification brings permanent peace with God This is not an emotion, but a condition

  13. Romans 5:1b-2 – Three Benefits 2. Access to grace Much like Heb. 4:14-16 Our new condition allows special access We “stand” in it and have “access” to it Prayer becomes critical to growth Here “grace” = “God’s enabling strength”

  14. Romans 5:1b-2 – Three Benefits 3. Joy (Expectation of glory) Our destiny and glorification are assured (Rom. 8:29) We “boast” or “exalt” in it

  15. Romans 5:3-4 – Oh, one more benefit… We also can exalt in problems!

  16. Romans 5:3-4 – Oh, one more benefit… Problems take on a new perspective because of our new relationship!

  17. Romans 5:3-4 – Oh, one more benefit… We are not the objects of God’s anger any longer!

  18. Romans 5:3-4 – Oh, one more benefit… “Tribulations” (afflictions) “Endurance” “Approvedness” (proven character) “Hope” (expectation)

  19. Romans 5:3-4 – Oh, one more benefit… Afflictions, properly responded to, produce the ability to bear up under pressure (endurance - Jas. 1)…which in turn leads to approval before God (1 Pet. 1:6-9)…which leads to our expectation (hope) of future glory!

  20. Romans 5:5 – Oh, one more benefit… As a result, we have a new boldness about our expectation of the future.

  21. Romans 5:5 – Oh, one more benefit… We should openly confess that boldness! Romans 10:11

  22. Romans 5:5 – Oh, one more benefit… Our confidence comes from the assurance of God’s love in the midst of, and in spite of, our trials!

  23. Romans 5:5 – Oh, one more benefit… The Holy Spirit causes us to realize God’s love through it all.

  24. Romans 5:5 – Oh, one more benefit… In other words, the righteous one by faith shall live!

  25. Romans 5:6-11 – The Basis for Victory How can we have the perspective we have?

  26. Romans 5:6 – The right time Christ came at the perfect time in history to help the weak and make us strong.

  27. Romans 5:7 – God’s great love for us Rarely will one die for a righteous man.

  28. Romans 5:7 – God’s great love for us More often, if someone is considered a really good person, it might happen.

  29. Romans 5:8 – God’s great love for us But we were neither!

  30. Romans 5:8 – God’s great love for us We should always realize that understanding the true nature and depth of God’s love for us is in His death for us!

  31. Romans 5:8 – God’s great love for us The cross should forever settle the question of what God thinks of each and every one of us!

  32. Romans 5:8 – God’s great love for us God did not love us for what we’ve done, what we could do, or because of how good we were.

  33. Romans 5:8 – God’s great love for us “Demonstrates” God actually “recommends” His love to us as a source of encouragement!

  35. Romans 5:9-10 – Great Expectations! Justified people can expect deliverance!

  36. Romans 5:9 – Great Expectations! Our deliverance is from “wrath” and “wrath” in Romans is presently going on in response to sin!

  38. Romans 5:10 – Great Expectations DEAUX! Our hostile relationship with God is now friendly!

  39. Romans 5:10 – Great Expectations DEAUX! In our new relationship, we are accepted by God and can expect His deliverance.

  40. Romans 5:10 – Great Expectations DEAUX! The source of our deliverance is the resurrected Christ!
