Romans 5:1-11 - Reconciliation With God Through Faith In Christ

1 BEING justified therefore by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have had an introduction through faith into this grace in which we have stood fast, and are rejoicing in hope of the glory of God. 3 And not only so, but we glory also in tribulations: knowing that tribulation produceth patience; 4 and patience, proof; and proof, hope; 5 and hope doth not make us ashamed; because the love of God is poured out into our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given to us.

6 For even then when we were without strength, Christ died in due time for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous person will any one die: though for a good man perhaps some one might even dare to die. 8 But God commendeth his own love towards us, that, though we were yet sinners, Christ died in our stead. 9 Therefore much more, being justified already by his blood, shall we be saved by him from wrath. 10 For if, being enemies, we have been reconciled to God by the death of his son, much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. 11 And not so only, but we exult in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom already we have received reconciliation.
