We have peace and favor every moment of every day!

Romans 5 Amplified Bible (AMP)

JUSTIFIED

 

1 Therefore, since we are justified (acquitted, declared righteous, and given a right standing with God) through faith, let us [grasp the fact that we] have [the peace of reconciliation to hold and to enjoy] peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One). 2 Through Him also we have [our] access (entrance, introduction) by faith into this grace (state of Godâ??s favor) in which we [firmly and safely] stand. And let us rejoice and exult in our hope of experiencing and enjoying the glory of God.

WE HAVE PEACE AND FAVOR

MSG By entering through faith into what God has always wanted to do for usâ??set us right with him, make us fit for himâ??we have it all together with God because of our Master Jesus. And thatâ??s not all: We throw open our doors to God and discover at the same moment that he has already thrown open his door to us. We find ourselves standing where we always hoped we might standâ??out in the wide open spaces of Godâ??s grace and glory, standing tall and shouting our praise.

3 Moreover [let us also be full of joy now!] let us exult and triumph in our troubles and rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that pressure and affliction and hardship produce patient and unswerving endurance. 4 And endurance (fortitude) develops maturity of character (approved faith and tried integrity). And character [of this sort] produces [the habit of] joyful and confident hope of eternal salvation. 5 Such hope never disappoints or deludes or shames us, for Godâ??s love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit Who has been given to us.

WE ARE CONFIDENT IN HIS LOVE TO RESCUE US OR LEAVE US IN A BAD SITUATION

MSG 3-5 Thereâ??s more to come: We continue to shout our praise even when weâ??re hemmed in with troubles, because we know how troubles can develop passionate patience in us, and how that patience in turn forges the tempered steel of virtue, keeping us alert for whatever God will do next. In alert expectancy such as this, weâ??re never left feeling shortchanged. Quite the contraryâ??we canâ??t round up enough containers to hold everything God generously pours into our lives through the Holy Spirit!
