Romans 5
1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
2 by whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
As great men read the Bible, they find deep, profound and complex truths. They find justification, sanctification, propitiation, reconciliation, redemption, regeneration, reprobanion. I have no doubt whatsoever that these are indeed profound biblical truths. To the extent I understand them.
But me. I'm not a great man. I'm a simple man. And, the more I read the Bible, the more simple truth becomes. Jesus died for our sins. We are saved - born again - by faith. We must live by the fruits of the Holy Spirit, which are love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,meekness, temperance.
