Where shall I begin, well I think the beginning of Romans 5 will be quite appropriate
Rom 5:1 Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
How often do we get irritated sitting in traffic every day or trying to avoid road rage from another driver who is just trying to push his buttons and have his/her own way, don't we need peace then and we get that peace through Jesus.
Rom 5:3 More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance,
Rom 5:4 and endurance produces character, and character produces hope,
Rom 5:5 and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.
This is when faith really does need to come into play, I have been through tough time and many others around have been through tough time and by submitting those troubles to God in our sufferings will we really flourish.
Rom 5:7 For one will scarcely die for a righteous person--though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die--
Rom 5:8 but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Rom 5:9 Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God.
The things I mention in chapter 1, we are saved from that by the blood of Jesus, he didn't have to die on the cross but the fact that such a sacrifice was made means even more now due to the fact that judgement day is coming and if people don't put things right I'm sad to say that they wont enter the kingdom of heaven and will spend eternity in hell so the time now for people to be saved by the blood of Jesus and acknowledge it is of utmost importance. Chapter 6 will answer many questions I'm sure some of you have been dying to ask.
