August 5, 2021 – Romans 5:1-2

Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through Him, we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Romans 5:1-2.

And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:7.  Jesus left  us this promise:  Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. John 14:27.  

Because of Who Jesus is and because of His Gift of Grace, we have reason to rejoice in constant hope of the glory of God.

Even while suffering we grow in faith and hope of God’s Love.  So many hardships of things we don’t understand happen to us. Then we rejoice because the ultimate happening is Hope.

Dear Father in Heaven, Hear our pray and help us to rejoice and give thanks in You. We know that in Your Presence we have strength and endurance of our faith. Hold me firm in my faith in You.  I pray in the Name of Jesus. Amen.

But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, He will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.  John 14:26. The Holy Spirit is our Teacher and Helper to lead and guide us in Your Way.  Helps us to hear.

“Be still, and know that I am God.” Psalm 46:10a. 

Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. Romans 5:3-5.
