Romans 5

Faith, being the key to our living will bring us closer to God. For it is written, through faith that we enter the glory if God. Suffering produces endurance, endurance produces character, character produces hope and hope is the ultimate goal to God's love.

God sent his son to die for us and we can now be save through the grace of Jesus Christ. Before that, we were sinners. But Jesus did not despise us and even sacrifice himself so that we can be closer to God. Therefore, after he died, we are now closer to God and in so, we must be even more willing to do the work of God and harmonize in his work.

The result of sin is death. For when sin enter into this earth through Adam and Eve, death came along as well. This happened even in the beginning where the law wasn't even born. But the grace of God is different. It is birth through the death of one who brings along resurrection and life. With the death of one, we can all receive the gift of eternity and righteousness and rejoice in Christ.

The world is full of sins. Therefore as sin brings along death, the sacrifice of one for the sake of many will be glorified. Where sins abound, grace abounds even greater over sin. For in obedience, grace and mercy is brought forth so that we can enjoy the gift of eternal life.
