Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through Him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in HOPE of the glory of God. Not only that, but we rejoice in our suffering, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces HOPE, and HOPE does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. Romans 5:1-5
We have been justified by faith. We have peace with God through Christ Jesus. We have been given His Grace! We rejoice in HOPE – we will see His glory! We suffer, endure, build character which produces HOPE! His Spirit is given to us to keep our focus on His Glory!
Wonderful thoughts to Ponder!
