. 9 Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him...or...

 Rom 5:9...NLT...9 And since we have been made right in God's sight by the blood of Christ, he will certainly save us from God's condemnation.

  • The point is clearly emphasized. What matters is what we have through Jesus. What we have through our own works doesn’t matter and can’t help us. It’s all what we have been given through Jesus.

    The believer now stands in a wonderfully blessed union with God, in relationship with God, which provides a new perspective on all of life.(Rom. 5: 1-5).  That perspective is rooted in the conviction that a God who was willing to give up His Son to bring us to Himself will surely, now that we are His, keep working in us.(see verses 6-11).  This is where we have blessed assurance from God; or His clearest, "I love you!" (Rom: 5:8 "But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.). How foolish it would be for us to suppose that God who showed such love for us when we were enemies would ever desert us now that we are His own.  

    I like the emphasis on that wording > 'Much more'

    Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. And not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.

     Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath: If we are justified by the work of Jesus, we can be assured that we are also saved from wrath through Him. The wrath of God that was revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men (Romans 1:18) was placed on Jesus as a substitute in the place of the believer.

     Much more then is the love and goodness of God given to us and much more then can we have confidence in Him.  Praise our Lord Jesus Christ that we can receive Him and have peace with God.  So often we pray for one another to have the peace of God, but how much better to have peace with God; access to God and to grace, joy in our future prospects, a deepening awareness of the cost Jesus Christ paid through His blood, through His sufferings; as well as being cleansed of all unrighteousness, being able to receive His Holy Spirit who works within us furthermore to regenerate, all parts of us; with a continuing sense of His love for us. 

    Praise our Lord Jesus Christ!

    Paul's letters are not Gospel. Paul was never a disciple or an apostle of Jesus, and all 3 different versions of his Damascus RD. story are fake. He wrongly thought an Apostle was greater than a Prophet which is why he chose to call himself an apostle.

  • "Yet the Lord warned Israel and Judah through all His prophets and every seer, saying, 

    “Turn from your evil ways and keep My commandments [Acts 1:2], My statutes according to all the law which I commanded your fathers [Ezekiel 36:27], and which I sent to you through My servants the prophets” [me] (Jeremiah 29:15)!

    "For I am the LORD, I change not..." (Malachi 3:6).

    14 "I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him. 

    15 That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past. 

    16 And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there. 

    17 I said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: [Through His servants the prophets] for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work" (Ecclesiastes 3:14-17)!

    .

    7 "Surely the LORD God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. 

    8 The lion hath roared, who will not fear? the LORD God hath spoken, who can but prophesy? 

    9 Publish in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say, Assemble yourselves upon the mountains of Samaria, and behold the great tumults in the midst thereof, and the oppressed in the midst thereof. 

    10 For they know not to do right, saith the LORD, who store up violence and robbery in their palaces. 

    11 Therefore thus saith the LORD GOD; An adversary there shall be even round about the land; and he shall bring down thy strength from thee, and thy palaces shall be spoiled. 

    12 Thus saith the LORD; As the shepherd taketh out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear; so shall the children of Israel be taken out that dwell in Samaria in the corner of a bed, and in Damascus in a couch. 

    13 Hear ye, and testify in the house of Jacob, saith the LORD God, the God of hosts, 

    14 That in the day that I shall visit the transgressions of Israel upon him I will also visit the altars of Bethel: and the horns of the altar shall be cut off, and fall to the ground" (Amos 3:7-14)!

    "Wherefore thus saith the LORD God of hosts, Because ye speak this word, behold, I will make my words in thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them" (Jeremiah 5:14)!

    So how do we purge sins again when Christ has a 2nd coming?  Juice him (drain him of all blood)?  God could forgive without a blood sacrifice.  Any God who demands the death of a good man is an evil God, and it is not a good idea to worship evil.

    Paul was hung upside down . What that means is when he got an erection he had to bend over backwards to ejaculate and no one would hire him to do porn so he wrote a bunch of garbage interpolated from Greek Philosophy and said it was a situation 

    he knew better than Jesus .
