Six Boasts of Every Christian - Romans 5:1-11

I count 6 boasts of every Christian described in Romans 5:1-11 - Here they are, with the text underneath. Enjoy -

An Unshakable Foundation (Romans 5:1-2a)

Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand

An Invincible Destination (5:2b-4)

and we exult in hope of the glory of God. And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope;

An Undeniable Consolation (5:5)

and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

An Inexplicable Demonstration (5:6-8)

For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will hardly die for a righteous man; though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

An Unbreakable Connection (5:9-10)

Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.


An Unmistakable Exultation (5:11)

And not only this, but we also exult in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.

Every one of these boasts was earned by Christ on our behalf!
