       So, go ahead and turn in your Bibles, or tap in your Bible apps to Romans chapter 5. Beginning in verse 1, we read: “Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” (ESV). We start here today with an incredible statement from the Apostle Paul. We, who believe in God, who have placed our faith in Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross and resurrection from the dead, who have been justified in front of God by this faith, we now, Paul says, have received peace with the God of everything that exists, who made everything that is, the God of all time. That’s incredible. Let us recall what Paul said a few chapters back in Romans 2:8-9, and this contrasts severely with what we see here in chapter 5 for the Christian. Remember? He said, “for those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, there will be wrath and fury” (ESV).
