Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Romans 5:3-4

Romans THE SOURCES OF HOPE Rom_5:2 - Rom_5:4 . We have seen in a previous sermon that the Apostle in the foregoing context is sketching a grand outline of the ideal Christian life, as all rooted in ‘being justified by faith,’ and flowering into ‘peace with God,’ ‘access into grace,’ and a firm stand against all antagonists and would-be masters. In our text he advances to complete the outline by sketching the true Christian attitude towards the future. I have ventured to take so pregnant and... read more

Job - Romans TWO KINDS OF HOPE A THREEFOLD CORD Rom_5:5 . We have seen in former sermons that, in the previous context, the Apostle traces Christian hope to two sources: one, the series of experiences which follow ‘being justified by faith’ and the other, those which follow on trouble rightly borne. Those two golden chains together hold up the precious jewel of hope. But a chain that is to bear a weight must have a staple, or it will fall to the ground. And so Paul here turns to yet another... read more

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

Much More the Grace of God Romans 5:1-5 , Romans 5:15-21 INTRODUCTORY WORDS We have before us today portions of Romans for our study. The Epistle of Paul to the Romans carries with it one of God's supreme messages for saints. Three great facts stand before us: (1) The fact of sin, with its universality. (2) The fact of redemption, through the Calvary work of Christ, where grace is supreme. (3) The fact of the victorious life in Christ Jesus, through the Spirit. A fourth message that stands... read more

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 5:1

PEACE WITH GOD‘Being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.’Romans 5:1What St. Paul reminds us of in this text is that just as God has a never-failing store of grace and power for the strengthening and reviving of our spiritual life, so also He has an inexhaustible reserve of peace from which we have only to draw in order to be reassured and comforted. I. God has a process not mechanical, but in the natural order of His providential dealing with the soul... read more

PRESENT PRIVILEGES OF THE JUSTIFIED‘Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.… And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.’ Romans 5:1-Deuteronomy : These five verses describe the present life of the justified believer, and teach the new position of those who are justified through faith. In the five verses there are five blessings described. Let us consider each of... read more

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

THE GIVER AND THE GIFT‘Because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.’ Romans 5:5 All the various writers of the New Testament are agreed upon this one point. From whatever standpoint the writer approaches the mystery of the Incarnation and its message to the world of men, his mind converges to a centre common to all, that Love is the greatest of all Christian virtues. I. Love is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost.—It does not belong... read more
