Unshakable Hope: Anchoring Your Life in the Benefits of Justification
Romans 5:1–5 (NKJV)
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.
The Call of Romans 5:1-5
