Study 9 From The Book of Romans Is: Romans 5:1-11
1. Verses 1, 2, 9-11. What
blessings does justification bring with it? List the things which are now ours
to enjoy. Note how much is covered by these statements. What ought such
awareness to make us do?
2. Someone, however, may say: ‘But
what of the sufferings attending the Christian life? Do not detract from its
blessedness?’ What is Paul’s answer to this? See verses 3-5. What is the value of suffering, and how may
we be sure that our hopes are not mere wishful thinking?
3. Verses 5-8. By what evidence
may we be doubly sure that God loves us? Notice the importance of having at
least two witnesses. Cf. Dt. 19:15; 2
Cor. 13:1. In what ways are the witnesses mentioned here different and
complementary?
