The Marks of The Life Justified! (Romans 5:1-5)

 

Message: Rom. 5:1-5

1 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have[a] 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 Marks of The Life Justified!”

Pastor Enoch Hanokh

 

“The justified life is the life imputed to those who believe in the vicarious death, resurrection and return of Christ Jesus the Son of God by which God graciously declares the sinners who have come to believe just.” 

Enoch Hanokh

 

 “How can a mortal be righteous before God?”

Job 9: 2

 

 

15 But the free gift is not like the offense. For if by the one man’s offense many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many. 16 And the gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned. For the judgment which came from one offense resulted in condemnation, but the free gift which came from many offenses resulted in justification. 17 For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.) Rom. 5:15-17
