FAMILY THEME: JUSTIFIED BY FAITH

Romans 5:1-21

Justification is when God declares a believing sinner to be

righteous. This lesson will highlight some of the many blessings

that come through justification by faith.

1.  Justification by Faith Gives Us Peace With God

     (Romans 5:1-8)

     Peace with God indicates a relationship where all the

     hostility and barriers that were created by our sin are

     now removed from the relationship. When we are

     justified before God, we are no longer His enemy.

 
2.  Justification by Faith Saves Us From the Wrath of God

     (Romans 5:9-11)

     While we were once subject to God's wrath, our

     justification in Christ keeps us from the eternal

     punishment we deserve.

 
3.  Justification by Faith Gives Us Access to Abundant

     Grace in our Lives

     (Romans 5:2  ;  12-21)

     Through Christ, we have abounding grace,

     righteousness, justification, and eternal life.
