Romans 5:6-8

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Romans 5:8

Romans WHAT PROVES GOD’S LOVE Rom_5:8 . We have seen in previous sermons on the preceding context that the Apostle has been tracing various lines of sequence, all of which converge upon Christian hope. The last of these pointed to the fact that the love of God, poured into a heart like oil into a lamp, brightened that flame; and having thus mentioned the great Christian revelation of God as love, Paul at once passes to emphasise the historical fact on which the conviction of that love... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Romans 5:1-11

Great Blessings through Christ Romans 5:1-11 We stand in grace; we look for glory. Our standing is sure, although apart from our feelings or deserts. It is ours forever, through union with the living Christ. It is our admission to the home of God’s elect. We have passed the threshold and have received, in the antechamber, the new white robe. But being in the house we find several stories or tiers of ascent. They are marked by the phrases, not only so and much more. Starting from faith, the... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Romans 5:1-21

The apostle now dealt with the values of justification. The value to the individual is a threefold blessing. This nature as to cause the heart to rejoice. The apostle now showed the difference between the first and second man, the first and last Adam, in their race headship and the results produced by each. The whole argument is based on the literal accuracy of the account of the fall of man chronicled in Genesis, the apostle making no fewer than nine references thereto in so short a passage.... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Romans 5:1-11

The Great Salvation Romans 5:1-11 INTRODUCTORY WORDS 1. God's story of sin. The fifth chapter of Romans is God's great climactic of the theme of redemption. Earlier chapters of the Book of Romans set forth the story of sin in all its heinousness. The Gentile world is declared unto sin. The Jewish world is then set forth under the same flaring headlines. Following is a conclusion in chapter 3 that "all have sinned" and every mouth is stopped. The whole world stands guilty before God. God... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Romans 5:6

FOR WHOM CHRIST DIED‘For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.’ Romans 5:6 The Apostle establishes this point by means of two reasons:— I. The great love which God has already bestowed on man is illustrated by the Apostle’s reference to the unworthiness of man as the object of it. He views him in different positions, and in all he appears utterly undeserving of the benign notice of God.( a) ‘ Without strength.’ In this expression the Apostle is probably... read more

James Nisbet

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Romans 5:8

THE DEPTH OF GOD’S LOVE‘But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.’ Romans 5:8 It is a remarkable feature in the sorrows of Jesus, that His love maintained such a wonderful equanimity. How very few are the affections which we know of, that have continued the same! How few friendships do any of us carry all along the little journey of life! It is an easy thing to go on, and be kind, when we are happy! Every man can be amiable, when all... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 5:1-11

The Direct Consequence Of Our Being Accounted as Righteous Through Faith (5:1-11). Paul now outlines some of the consequences of our being ‘accounted as righteous’ through faith. These he represents as follows: 1) We have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 5:1). 2) We have access by faith into the grace in which we now stand (Romans 5:2). 3) We rejoice in the hope of the glory of God (Romans 5:2). 4) We rejoice in tribulation because of what we know it will work within us... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 5:1-21

Salvation To The Uttermost (5:1-8:39). The depths of our sin having been revealed in Romans 1:17 to Romans 3:23, and Jesus Christ’s activity, (His activity in bringing about our salvation through the cross by means of the reckoning to us of His righteousness by faith), having been made known in Romans 3:24 to Romans 4:25, Paul now sets about demonstrating the consequences of this for all true believers (Romans 5:1 to Romans 8:39). He wants us immediately to recognise that being ‘accounted as... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 5:6

‘For while we were yet weak, in due season Christ died for the ungodly.’ Having briefly demonstrated the fruits of justification, Paul now comes back to its grounds. Romans 5:2-5 have illustrated the believers’ strength through the Holy Spirit, now we are reminded of the state that they were in before that strength came as a consequence of their being accounted as righteous. They had been ‘weak’, they had been ‘without strength’, they had been unable to help themselves. And it was while they... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 5:7

‘For scarcely for a righteous man will one die. For peradventure for the good man some one would even dare to die.’ And lest it be thought that he is overstressing this description of men as ‘ungodly’ Paul now underlines the fact for us. It was for men who were neither righteous nor good that Christ died. It was for sinners (Romans 5:8). We could, says Paul, possibly have understood someone dying for a strictly righteous man, although it would have been unusual. We could even more have... read more
