The Apostle Paul explains in Romans 5:1-5 about the wonderful benefits of being justified by faith, namely that we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. And we can also glory in our tribulations, which ultimately strengthens a hope that does not disappoint because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the indwelling Holy Spirit. These truths provide deep comfort—our past is settled, our present is secure, and our future is certain—even as God uses trials to mature us and deepen our hope in Him.
