Pastor Joel Santti: Romans 5:1-21
"Much More"
Introduction- Results of Justification:
-peace with God (5:1)
-access to grace (5:2)
-patience, experience, and hope (5:4)
-God's love revealed (5:5)
"Much More" - Five times in chapter 5 this phrase is used by Paul to show the additional benefits of justification.
1st "much more": (v. 9) not only is does the believer have their sins forgiven and assurance of eternal life, God also promises deliverence from judgment to come. (see also I Thess. 1:10)
2nd "much more": (v. 10) not only is the believer made right with God through the death of Christ, we have a guarentee through His life. (see also John 1:4)
3rd "much more": (v. 15) the gift of grace through Jesus abounds to many.
4th "much more": (v. 17) "much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ." (think royalty- see I Pet. 2:9)
5th "much more": (v. 20) grace abounding (overflowing).
