Romans 5: Peace and Joy part 1

¹Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, ²through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. ³Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; ⁴perseverance, character; and character, hope. ⁵And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.

• Through Jesus we are able to meet with God
• we are able to have hope through Gods glory
• through perseverance we are able to grow
• through suffering God provides hope, hope of salvation
• having hope will not disappoint because Gods love is truly amazing
