About this message

Paul tells the believers in Rome that, justified by faith, they have peace with God and can rejoice even in their sufferings. Michael Orlov walks through Romans 5:1-11 for anyone whose joy in salvation has grown faint. He shows four blessings of justification: peace with God, standing in grace with hope of glory, suffering that produces growth, and joy in God Himself. He closes with a call to repent and believe.

For anyone who feels the joy of their salvation has faded.
