We are saved by God’s Grace (unmerited favor) through faith in Jesus Christ. (Ephesians 2:8-9) We have peace with God because our sins have been atoned for by Christs death and resurrection. We can look forward with joy to being with Him forever.
“Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us. Because of our faith, Christ has brought us into this place of undeserved privilege where we now stand, and we confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God’s glory.
We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.” (Romans 5:1-5 NLT) [1]
There is a second blessing in this passage. Christians believe in one God. (Deuteronomy 6:4) Our one God is manifested (revealed) in three separate and distinct persons; God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Each one is fully God, equal, and eternal.
Some people deny the
Trinity because the word “Trinity” does not appear in the Bible. However, there are many instances where the
Trinity is spoken of plainly in the Scriptures.
Romans 5:1-5 is one of those passages that confirm the truth of the
Trinity.
