Stand in the Grace of Our Lord Jesus Christ 1. He gives us access to God by faith 2. He allows us to rejoice in our sufferings 3. He gives us God’s love through his Holy Spirit (Romans 5:1-8)
Pastor Keith Petersen, March 8, 2026Part of the Lent series, preached at a Sunday Morning service
3rd Sunday in Lent (3/8/26)
Romans 5:1–8
1)Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
2)Through him we also have obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand. And we rejoice confidently on the basis of our hope for the glory of God.
3)Not only this, but we also rejoice confidently in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces patient endurance,
4)and patient endurance produces tested character, and tested character produces hope.
5)And hope will not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, who was given to us.
6)For at the appointed time, while we were still helpless, Christ died for the ungodly.
7)It is rare indeed that someone will die for a righteous person. Perhaps someone might actually go so far as to die for a person who has been good to him.
8)But God shows his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
