Gifts From the Father
Daniel Jarstfer
Romans
,
Paul has established the that salvation (right standing before a holy God) is found only by faith in Christ alone (chapters 1-4). He moves into the second section of his letter (chapters 5-8) and addresses what living out the faith looks like. Paul moves from answering those who oppose the truth to instructing those who have new life in Christ. Paul writes of a number of the “benefits that do either accompany or flow from justification, adoption, or sanctification (WSC36)” in these first five verses.
