Romans 5:-1-2
Reasons For Rejoicing

1…because your sins are forgiven!
2…because of being justified (just as if).  The blood of Jesus covers you.
3…because you have peace with God. You have access by faith into God’s grace.  You are bought with a price. You have peace because you are complete in Christ and you grow daily in Christ. You strive everyday to be closer to Him!
4…because you can freely enter into God’s presence that once was forbidden. You now have regular access to him as often as you want.

Materialistic/earthly things will pass away but the peace of God is eternal!

Hope is having confident expectations. You are sure God will do what he said and what He promised in His time not ours.

A relationship with God is “priceless”! There is nothing that compares!

Be Blessed!
