Six Reasons the Righteous Should Rejoice - Romans 5:1-11 (11.11.18) - Dr. Jordan N. Rogers

There is joy unstoppable for the one who believes in the Lord Jesus. Even through difficulty and trial, a follower of Christ has true joy.

If you have been justified through Jesus, you have great reasons to rejoice.

In Romans 5:1-11 the Apostle Paul explains the benefits of justification, which is where God declares a person “righteous” because they believe in His Son, Jesus. There are six distinct reasons Paul explains in this passage as to why the righteous should rejoice. If you are a follower of Jesus, the truth of this passage will strengthen, encourage, and build you up for the trials of life. If you are not a follower of Jesus, this passage of Scripture will compel you to begin believing in Christ and following Him.

Sermon Title: “Six Reasons the Righteous Should Rejoice”

Text: Romans 5:1-11
“(1)Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. (2)Through Him we also have obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. (3)Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, (4)and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, (5)and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our heart through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.
(6)For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. (7)For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die—(8)but God shows His love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (9)Since, therefore, we have now been justified by His blood, much more shall we be saved by Him from the wrath of God. (10)For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of His Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by His life. (11)More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.”
