The Pulpit Commentary - Romans 5:2

Through whom also we have (rather, have had— ἐδχήκαμεν —referring to the past time of conversion and baptism, but with the idea of continuance expressed by the perfect) the (or, our ) access by faith (the words, "by faith," which are not required, are absent from many manuscripts) into this grace wherein we stand , and rejoice (properly, glory , καυχώμεθα , the same word as in the following verse, and most usually so rendered elsewhere, though sometimes by "boast." Our... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Romans 5:2

A state of privilege. It seems as if the apostle was delighted to turn from demonstrations of the credibility of the gospel plan to consider the happiness of those who had embraced it and were realizing its privileges. His pen glows as he exhorts himself and his readers to taste the full comforts of the condition of reconciliation towards God. When our right to the estate is challenged, we may spend time in examining the title-deeds and verifying our claims; but in general it is healthier... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Romans 5:2-5

Christian discipline. Christianity is a religion intended both for heaven and for earth. It does not lose sight of the present when gazing into the future, visible to it alone. Beginning with our relation to God, it establishes thereupon our relation to men. It unfolds morality in the act of revealing the spiritual and Divine. It represents heaven, not merely as a compensation for the miseries of time and earth, but as a state attained by the training and the education which, in the order... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Romans 5:2

We have access - See the note at John 14:6, “I am the way,” etc. Doddridge renders it, “by whom we have been introduced,” etc. It means, “by whom we have the privilege of obtaining the favor of God which we enjoy when we are justified.” The word rendered “access” occurs but in two other places in the New Testament, Ephesians 2:18; Ephesians 3:12. By Jesus Christ the way is opened for us to obtain the favor of God.By faith - By means of faith, Romans 1:17.Into this grace - Into this favor of... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Romans 5:2

Romans 5:2. By whom also we have access Greek, την προσαγωγην , admittance, entrance, or introduction. The word, as Raphelius has shown from the heathen historian, Herodotus, is often used as a sacerdotal phrase, and signifies, “being with great solemnity introduced as into the more immediate presence of a deity in his temple, so as (by a supposed interpreter, from thence called προσαγωγευς , the introducer) to have a kind of conference with such a deity.” By faith into this grace ... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Romans 5:1-11

The believer’s assurance (5:1-11)When God justifies people (declares them to be righteous, or puts them right with him), he brings them into a relationship of peace with himself. In his grace he accepts them into his holy presence, and assures them of one day sharing his glory (5:1-2). Believers’ anticipation of future glory is what the Bible calls hope. Hope in this sense is not a mere wish for something, but the expectation of something that is certain. It is an assured belief that enables... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Romans 5:2

Through whom also we have had our access by faith into this grace wherein we stand; and we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God.The observant student will already have noted that Paul's writings in this letter lay great stress upon being "in Christ." Already, in this chapter, justification was said to have been through Christ; peace with God is through Christ; and here it was declared to be Christ "through whom" there is access by faith into this grace. The state of grace, or favor, into... read more

Romans 5:2. By whom also we have access, &c.— By whom we have been introduced, by means of faith, into that grace, &c. The Greek word προσαγωγη, is often used as a sacerdotal phrase, andsignifies being with great solemnity introduced, as into the more immediate presence of the Deity in his temple; so as by a supposed interpreter, thence called προσαγωγευς, the introducer, to have a kind of conference with such a Deity. St. Paul uses the same word rejoice or glory for the convert... read more
