"Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out His love into our hearts by The Holy Spirit, whom He has given us." Romans 5:1-5 (NIV)
The Apostle Paul argues that God justifies sinners on the basis of their faith. Once We are justified, we have peace with God and we enjoy the grace of God.
Our salvation is based upon our belief in Jesus Christ. Our faith in Him and His love for us allows us to enjoy hope for the future. We can rejoice now, whatever the circumstance or situation, because our current sufferings will lead perseverance, which will produce strong character within us, which will strengthen our faith, and give us hope for a better tomorrow. We are blessed to enjoy the love of God.
