Read Romans 5:1-11
5 Now that we have been put right with God
through faith, we havee peace with God through our Lord Jesus
Christ. 2He has brought us by faith into this experience of God’s
grace, in which we now live. And so we boastf of the hope we have of
sharing God’s glory! 3We also boastg of our troubles,
because we know that trouble produces endurance, 4endurance brings
God’s approval, and his approval creates hope. 5This hope does not
disappoint us, for God has poured out his love into our hearts by means of the
Holy Spirit, who is God’s gift to us.
6 For when we were still helpless,
Christ died for the wicked at the time that God chose. 7It is a
difficult thing for someone to die for a righteous person. It may even be that
someone might dare to die for a good person. 8But God has shown us
how much he loves us—it was while we were still sinners that Christ died for
us! 9By his bloodh we are now put right with God; how
much more, then, will we be saved by him from God’s anger! 10We were
God’s enemies, but he made us his friends through the death of his Son. Now
that we are God’s friends, how much more will we be saved by Christ’s life! 11But
that is not all; we rejoice because of what God has done through our Lord Jesus
Christ, who has now made us God’s friends.
Think
As we learn to trust God - Paul points us to the definitive image of what
God is like. Jesus. Because we hope in Jesus we are not
disappointed; God's love is poured into our hearts.
Pray
Lord - help me to live as your friend today; trusting you - following you.
