Romans 5v1 Therefore, since we have been justified through FAITH, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. 3 Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4 perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.

Hope in Christ is everything. Grace through faith in the Son is the only road to righteousness. To think we have righteousness even when we mess up is a humbling thought. That God had mercy on the whole world gentiles and all to give us the right to eternity through faith in His Son. What an awesome God we serve. What a powerful Spirit that reigns in our hearts. Glory to God. Praise Jesus.

Romans 5v20 The law was brought in so that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more, 21 so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
