βTherefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ; by whom also we have accessβ¦β (Rom. 5:1,2).
βBeing justifiedβ¦ we have peace with Godβ!
What a priceless blessing! We believers are prone to take this blessing altogether too much for granted. Since the day we trusted Christ and the burden of sin rolled away, most of us have never had another question about our eternal destiny. Hence the danger of taking our salvation for granted.
We often fail to appreciate sufficiently what it means to be able to arise in the morning, go about our business during the day and give ourselves up to unconsciousness at night, always assured that through our Lordβs redemptive work we have βpeace with Godβ and our eternal destiny is secure. Surely this knowledge should overwhelm our hearts with constant gratitude and have a profound effect upon our daily conduct.
The companion blessing to βpeace with Godβ is our full and free access into His presence: another blessing of grace far too little appreciated. Think of the wonder of our free access to God; how He, the Ruler of the Universe, invites us to come confidently before His βthrone of graceβ at our convenience β βin time of need.β
βLet us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of needβ (Heb. 4:16).
We should never forget that this high privilege was purchased for us by the precious blood of Christ, and that having thus been purchased, it is His will that we believers avail ourselves of βthis grace.β Could there be greater proof of His love for us? source
