Romans Chapter 5
IN THIS LESSON
Everybody likes Romans 5:8, where Paul declares, “God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” But not everyone likes the following verse, 9, where he talks about God’s coming anger. He asks, “How much more?” What is at stake here, and how can we, as believers, be so sure of our rescue (i.e., salvation) on judgment day?
