Iivesi zeBhayibhile ezithandwayo ezisuka Romans 5

Yabelana

But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.

And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.

We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation.

Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us. Because of our faith, Christ has brought us into this place of undeserved privilege where we now stand, and we confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God’s glory.

When we were utterly helpless, Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners.

And since we have been made right in God’s sight by the blood of Christ, he will certainly save us from God’s condemnation.

Because one person disobeyed God, many became sinners. But because one other person obeyed God, many will be made righteous.

So now we can rejoice in our wonderful new relationship with God because our Lord Jesus Christ has made us friends of God.
