Seeker Overlay ON
*
Therefore ,
since we are justified by faith ,
we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ .
*
Through him we have obtained access to this grace in which we stand ,
and we rejoice in our hope of sharing the glory of God .
*
More than that ,
we rejoice in our sufferings ,
knowing that suffering produces endurance ,
*
and endurance produces character ,
and character produces hope ,
*
and hope does not disappoint us ,
because God '
s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit which has been given to us .
*
While we were still weak ,
at the right time Christ died for the ungodly .
*
Why ,
one will hardly die for a righteous man--though perhaps for a good man one will dare even to die .
*
But God shows his love for us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us .
*
Since ,
therefore ,
we are now justified by his blood ,
much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God .
*
For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son ,
much more ,
now that we are reconciled ,
shall we be saved by his life .
*
Not only so ,
but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ ,
through whom we have now received our reconciliation .
