Faith Brings Joy

5 Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace^[a] with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us.

² 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.

⁶ When we were utterly helpless, Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners.

⁸ But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.

⁹ 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.

¹⁰ For since our friendship with God was restored by the death of his Son while we were still his enemies, we will certainly be saved through the life of his Son.

³⁹ No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.
