ROMANS 5:1 “Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” v. 3 “And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulations worketh patience.” v. 12 “ Wherefore as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned.” v. 15 “ For if through the offence of one, many be dead, much more the grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, grace has abounded unto many.”

It is not possible to make a greater plea for lost people to be saved than the message found in the above verses. It is also impossible to find a greater message that strengthens a Christian’s faith then the 5th Chapter of Romans. Please pick up a Bible and study this great message from Paul that is found therein. He writes, we are justified by faith and find peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. It is a positive absolute that no person alive can find true peace except they have a right relationship with God, which only comes by faith in Christ. That is the faith that justifies our salvation. That justification means we will receive salvation, that we are given it, if we have faith in Christ. Without that faith in Christ our soul will become hungry and we will be restless and never find complete peace with God. To look further into Paul’s message, we can see many people in our present day society that are fearful of the tribulations that must, and will come in every person’s life while in this flesh. But Paul teaches we can be patient and actually glory in our tribulations if we have faith. In reality this flesh life is nothing more than a testing period to determine if we are worthy to live in heaven, (God’s Kingdom). By lies and false promises Satan deceived a third of God’s holy angels and caused them to rebel with him against God. That will never happen again. We will be tested in this life and only those who choose Christ as God’s provision of salvation for man will be found in Heaven. If they choose to reject Christ they will spend their eternity with Satan in hell.
