Recap.

Refresh.
Review.
Reflect.
Ruminate.
Do this with Romans 1-5…repeatedly.
You will be amazed at what the Lord will reveal…
Rom 5:20-21
The Law came in so that the transgression would increase;
but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more,
so that, as sin reigned in death,
even so grace would reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
NASB95
Grace abounds all the more.
Unlimited grace.
Yes!
Sin reigned in death.
But now for the believer…
Grace reigns through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Rom 5:1-2
Therefore, having been justified by faith,
we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
through whom also we have obtained our introduction (access) by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we exult in hope of the glory of God.
NASB95
Believers have been justified by faith!
We have peace with God…through our Lord Jesus Christ…note the similarity of expression at the beginning and end of the chapter…wave after wave of revelation!!
We have access to His grace…by faith.
We stand in this grace…not just “gett’n saved” and living as we want.
We stand in His grace.
We therefore exult/rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
That is our hope - His glory!!
Rejoice!
