The good news in one verse

Romans is a grand book that conveys the gospel from beginning to end.  There is within its pages verses, sections, and passages that have been the backbone of Christian theology for the past 2000 years.  There is one verse that gets my attention every time I read it. I pause and notice it because its underlined in probably all of my Bibles.  I have it highlighted electronically in my software and have notes attached to it.  It’s the introductory verse to a set of 4 chapters that form the core of the book of Romans.  The chapters are 5-8.  The verse is been justified by faith.  That’s the result of taking that step of faith and confessing Christ!  Romans 10:9-10 articulates the process. Since we have been justified by faith.  The very moment we put our faith in Christ a grand transaction took place.  The old self of sin was replaced with the justification of Christ’s righteousness.  In light of the fact that we have been justified by faith, we HAVE PEACE WITH GOD.  The one thing mankind is looking for.  Meaning in life. Purpose.  We have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ!  Praise God! ​
