The Unshakable Hope of The Gospel | Romans 5:1–8
Where do we stand in relationship with God? This is the most important question we can ask. This was the question that troubled Martin Luther as he struggled with doubts and assurance of faith! But in the fall of 1515, Luther began to teach the Book of Romans to his students. As he painstakingly prepared his lectures, he began to see—that salvation is by grace alone through faith alone. This was the hope that ignited the Protestant Reformation in 1517. According to Luther, no chapter in the Bible can equal Romans 5. So, following in our passage we’ll look at: - a) The hope of the gospel in which we stand. b) The hope of the gospel in our sufferings. c) The hope of the gospel in Jesus’ sufferings.
