Suffering helps us become strong--Romans 5:1-5

Good morning all. God is good all the time, all the time God is good.  TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!!
   Today, in my Bible reading and study I came across Romans 5:1-5 which reached out and touched me, and, I pray it may bring light to you as well.
   5 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."
   Okay, break it on down now--you are a sinner, but, you are justified through _________.  Because of this we have _________ with God and why?  Because of our LORD __________    ___________.
Through Him we have access by ________ and through _______ we now stand.  WE HAVE HOPE!!
   Will we suffer?  Yes!  Why?  Look at what our suffering brings - perseverance, and through perseverance comes character, and through character come hope.  And what about hope?
   Hope does not disappoint us and because................  because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.
  Paul is telling us that as sinners we are condemned, HOWEVER, since God sent Jesus to die for our sins we have entered into a place of undeserved privilege.  Through Jesus, God has declared us not guilty and has drawn us closer to Him.  As the praise song says: "I am a friend of God, He calls me friend."
  Fill in the words above and think about where you are, what you have, and who provided this for you! Love you all.
   In Christ's Love and Grace
