As human beings, we are all sinners and fall short of the Glory of God. But the Good News is that God loved us so much that He sent His Son to die for our sins, so that we might be reconciled to Him. In Romans 5:9, Paul reminds us that we have been justified by Christ’s blood and have been saved from God’s wrath.
“Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him!”
Justification means that we have been declared righteous by God through faith in Jesus Christ. We are not justified by our own works or by our own merit, but by the grace of God through faith.
This means that we have peace with God, and we can approach Him with confidence, knowing that we have been forgiven and reconciled to Him.
As you meditate on Romans 5:9, remember that your salvation is a gift from God. You did not earn it and you do not deserve it, but it was freely given to you through faith in Jesus Christ.
Remember also, that your salvation came at a great cost – the Blood of Jesus Christ. May you never take for granted the sacrifice that He made on your behalf and may you live your life in a way that honors Him.
