Romans Chapter 5
IN THIS LESSON
Why does Paul say in this passage, “We have peace with God”? Despite this bold acclamation, he acknowledges that there will be sufferings in our lives. What does it mean to “celebrate in our suffering,” and how is it different from “celebrating our suffering”? Have you experienced that “suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope”?
