In this part of his letter, the apostle Paul explains that justification by faith brings peace with God. Through the death of Jesus Christ, God’s righteous anger is turned away from those who were once His enemies. The believer is said to be reconciled to God ….. the debt has been paid by someone else.

As well as peace, the person who has been made right with God has something to look forward to. Even though life is not always easy, this relationship with God will one day be far more wonderful than what it is now …… lasting forever.
