Commentaries:

Being justified by faith we have access to God through Lord Jesus Christ

Through Him we also obtain into this grace in which we stand

                        We rejoice in hope of glory of God

Stairway of sanctification:

Rejoice in suffering

            Suffering produces endurance

                        Endurance produces characters

                                    Character produces hope

                                                Hope does not put to shame     

 While we were weak – Christ died for us (v. 6)

(v. 7) die for the righteous or die for a good person…

While we were still sinners – Christ died for us (v. 8)  

 

(v. 10) we are reconciled to God by the death of His Son – cp. 2 Cor. 5:18-21

(v. 11) we rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ
