The sermon focuses on the five eternal benefits that flow directly from being justified by faith (Romans 5:1). It highlights that Christian peace and hope are not feelings we find within ourselves, but objective realities received from God. 1. Peace with God: This is an established, objective peace (not a feeling) because Christ's finished work removed God's judgment. 2. Access to Standing in Grace: Because we have peace, we gain ongoing access to God's rich, undeserved favor, invited to approach Him confidently (the "throne of grace"). 3. The Joy of the Hope of Glory: Our hope is a confident expectation that God will complete the good work He started in us and raise us up in glory. 4. Enduring Joy in Suffering: Since God is sovereign, suffering becomes purposeful. It initiates a growth sequence: Suffering $\rightarrow$ Endurance $\rightarrow$ Character $\rightarrow$ Hope. 5. The Love of God Poured Out: Our hope is a steadfast anchor fixed in Jesus in heaven. The anchor line in our hearts is secured by God's love, which is poured out by the Holy Spirit living within us, strengthening our assurance. In conclusion, true peace, reliable hope, and purpose in suffering are only found by trusting and growing in Jesus Christ.
