We Are Justified and We Have Peace With God 
Romans 5:1-9
    1.} Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have 
          peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 
    2.} Through whom also we have access by faith into 
         this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope 
         of the glory of God. 
    3.} And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, 
         knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; 
    4.} And perseverance, character; and character, hope. 
    5.} Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of 
         God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy 
         Spirit who was given to us. 
    6.} For when we were still without strength, in due 
         time Christ died for the ungodly. 
    7.} For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet 
         perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. 
    8.} But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in 
         that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 
    9.} much more then, having now been justified by His 
         blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. 
         What a blessing to be able to rest in the arms of our 
         Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who gave his blood for us. 
         Give God the praise! Amen.
