"Our Peace"
Romans 5:1-11 (ESV)
Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with
God through our Lord Jesus Christ. [2] Through him we have also
obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we
rejoice in hope of the glory of God. [3] More than that, we rejoice
in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance,
[4] and endurance produces character, and character produces hope,
[5] and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been
poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.
[6] For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the
ungodly. [7] For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though
perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— [8] but God
shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for
us. [9] Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much
more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. [10] For if while
we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son,
much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.
[11] More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
through whom we have now received reconciliation.
