THERE IS NOTHING IN THIS ENTIRE WORLD BETTER THEN HAVING PEACE WITH THEE ALMIGHTY GOD, WOOOOOOOOW! AND IT'S SOOOOOOOO AMAZING JUST TO KNOW THAT TOO, BELIEVERS!

This verse shows how we all inherited sin from Adam and sin results in death so that is why we all die. Through Adam's one sin and trangression he passed on sin to all of his offspring.

Ephesians 1:4 "According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love." Christians understand that we can't be a holy people without the indwelling presence of the Holy Ghost nor can we be a loving people without God's Spirit because it's He who sheds His love abroad within our hearts ( Romans 5:5). God chose to have a holy people for the good pleaure of His will. The Godhead determined before the foundation of the world that the people of God would be holy and without blame before Him in love to show forth His grace to the world. The criteria for being His chosen is "To Have Faith In His word" according to John 1:14. Only believers will be partakers of the Son-ship ( Philippians 2:15)( Matthew 5:10). The plan for salvation was also established before the foundation of the world that whosoever repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus and allow the Holy Spirit to make them into the image and likeness of Christ and endure unto death in His truth and righteousness, shall be partakers of the heavenly calling and receive adoption as the Sons of God. Ephesians 1:4 is most effective when we incorporate verses 5-14. (I have a book coming soon please subscribe).

God sanctified us in Jesus Christ. A new creature, a clean thing out of an unclean.

"But God commanded his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." ( Romans 5:8).

"And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;" ( Ephesians 2:1).

He washed us clean with the blood of Lord Jesus.

God has shown his love to all humanity ever since the creation of the world his love has been evident. From His invisible qualities becoming our gifts to see like the trees and the stars and all else He has created surely God has shown His love for thee. At the right time God sent His only Son into the world and took upon the sins of all humanity so that we could live eternally with Our Lord Jesus Christ in heaven. While we were powerless to redeem our sinful selves at birth Christ died for us and this is how He showed his great love for all, by becoming an atoning sacrifice for you and me.

I believe this verse is speaking to me directly. I was in a terrible accident that left me paralyzed from the ribs down. I celebrated three years of recocery three days ago and i'm filled with the Holy Spirit today. I used to be sad, now i'm truly happy with my life because i accept Jesus as my savior. The hope I have to walk is now genuine, for I know I will be blessed by the Lord and will walk today in the name of Jesus!!!!!

This p***age made me understand that regardless of our righteous living,we have inherited sin through our father; Adam. Therefore,we have to count on the grace of that one man; Jesus to make us holy and acceptable unto God. Halleluyah!

We cannot repay Christ for what He has done for us. Salvation is the greatest gift of love that can be given to all of us sinners. After salvation I am to be obedient to Him but not to try and repay Him their is no repaying for the remission of our sins. The penalty was paid and is a free gift unto all of us who will accept Him. We all have our own stuggles in this life and our sin nature always wars against our spiritual nature we have confidence in Jesus Who is faithful and just to forgive us of our sin. Thank You Lord for you know how great a sinner I have been!!!

we our born with the old nature romans 5:12.if we become a Christian we have a new nature. saved are lost we all have the old nature and only the Lord knows who are truly saved. Satan means accuser of the brethren and devil means slander. when we live in the sprit we have the fruits of the spirit. Galatians 5:22-26. If we walk in the flesh Galatians 5:17-21 is the outcome. A Christian can sin but will be convicted and possible chastening of the Lord. Hebrews 12:3-8. Those who are without Christ in there heart have no real power to please Jesus, and only he knows who is Saved. Jesus said enter in at the narrow gate, because wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction and many people go there in . But few find the narrow gate. Ephesians 2:8,9.

Romans 5:8 - It escapes my human comprehension to think that God, even before the foundation of the world, had us in His master plan and made provision for our escape from hell through the death of His only begotten son, Jesus Christ, on the cross of Calvary. His thoughts towards us, children of men are so bountiful that we should always stand in awe when we think of what would have happened if God, in His mercy, did not first love us.

It means to me that God loves us no matter what . He sent his son Jesus to die on the cross for our sins. For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth on him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16

I like Darby's rendering "commends His love to us." So, if we receive His love it is ours and all we do is act accodingly. Praise God! Hallelujah!!

I was awakened to God’s voice saying Romans 5. I pray for understanding of what God is trying to tell me.

We could only repay God by giving him our all. All in everything although I try to remain close to God there are things that try to separate us. Have me and my family in your prayers.

Romans 5:17. The first Adam fails; the second Adam prevails.

It’s amazing to think that God gave up his son for me and loves me unconditionally regardless of my short comings yet I fail to lay down my heart and love not just those who are close to me. I pray that he helps me and plant his humbleness in my heart for I know that if he lives in me all will be as he wants me as his child to carry his name.

I believe in the cross of Christ and his blood.

Matthew, let me share something with you. We've all made mistakes in life and we all experience some level of guilt and fear of judgment. But let me tell you that Jesus Christ shed his blood on the cross to pay for all your sins. We can never have joy and fulfillment in life just by having good morals and following rules, because we still fall short of God's perfect standard ( Romans 3:23). The peace that we all seek is found in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross of Calvary ( Romans 5:8). Place your faith fully in Him to forgive you of your past, present, and future sins. Salvation from Hell can only be found when we come to the realization that we are hopeless and helpless apart from God's saving grace. Call on him for Salvation as Romans 10:13 admonishes - "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved". Then you can have freedom from sin and condemnation as Romans 8:1 tells us - "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus". If you have any questions about these comments, please ask. I want everyone to know the peace that Christ brings. "Matthew's Matthew Chapter 19 comment on 6/29/2012, 1:26am... I will admit I am afraid of judgment because I've made mistakes in my life. I can't remember everything but I wish I could take back many of the hurtful things I've said. I have accepted God into my life but my family does not know I have. I have good morals and follow rules and I do not want to go to Hell but I am still afraid..."

Romans 5:5 Hope will never disappoint or shame us, because God's love is in our hearts and that is established by the giving the Holy Spirit to us. You see if we have God in our lives and truly seek him first, we have guidance, hope and faith. Things hope for are things not yet seen. FAITH is by Christ dying for the ungodly, he gave hope to all mankind that fall short of the glory of God, and we all fall short! So having Hope in God's glory will never shame us and having been instructed to do all things for the GLORY OF GOD. That means that EVERYTHING we do we must do in HOPE, so that they are lives testimonies for God's glory and that there is Hope of everlasting life. That is how we grow spiritually!

I thought the last verses concerning the abundance of sin and how it abounded. I though it was so beautiful that the more sin streamed in great abundance so did God's Grace.

Some people identify the woman of Revelation 12 as Israel. But, where does it say in the bible that Israel "fled into the wilderness" to be protected and nourished by God AFTER the messianic child has been enthroned in heaven? These verses clearly describe what God does for His People of the New Covenant after Christ’s coming, not the Israel of the Old era. Some people also say that the woman of Revelation is the Church, but the ecclesial interpretation by itself DOES NOT make sense of all the data, for Revelation 12:1–5 portrays the woman as the mother of Jesus Christ. If the woman represents the Church, we must ask, how could the Church give birth to Jesus Christ? Rather, it should be the other way around!

Three main characters emerge in this scene: the woman, her male child, and the dragon. The woman gives birth to the male child, who is attacked by the dragon. The child is caught up to God and enthroned, while the dragon is defeated and cast down ( Rev. 12:1–9). Two of the three characters are easily identifiable. The dragon is explicitly identified as "that ancient serpent, who is called the Devil and Satan" (12:9). The male child is Jesus Christ, for he is described as destined to "rule all the nations with a rod of iron" ( Rev. 12:5) a reference to the description of the messianic king in Psalm 2:9. Furthermore, since the child is caught up to God and sits on His throne, most scholars identify the child as Jesus Christ. The other two main characters are identified as individuals (the male child being Jesus Christ, and the dragon Satan), it seems unlikely that the third major character is only a symbol for a collective group. Rather, if the dragon and the child represent individuals, the woman also is likely to be an individual.

The woman of Revelation 12 is the BLESSED VIRGIN MARY. A Marian interpretation avoids the pitfalls of views that see the woman not as an individual at all, but only as a symbol for the People of God. Such an either-or proposition itself is foreign to the biblical worldview in which individuals often symbolically represent collective groups (e.g., Romans 5:19, where Adam represents all humanity, and Psalm 44:4, where Jacob stands for all of Israel). Given this biblical notion of individuals representing larger groups of people, the woman in Revelation 12 could be understood as both an individual (Mary) and a representative of God’s People as a whole. And the Blessed Virgin Mary is just the right person to embody both the Old and New Covenant since she herself stands at the hinge between the and the New. If there was one woman in salvation history who could represent both Israel and the beginning of the New Covenant People of God, it would be the Blessed Virgin Mary.

I'm with fredrerik I AM TRULY GLADE GOD HAD A PLAN. AND IAM SO'SO GLADE WAS THE PLAN ITHANK HIM SO MUCH FOR LOVING ME TO DIE FOR WE HAVE TO TAKE THIS THING PERSONALY AS HE DIED JUST FOR ME AND THAN WE HAVE TO RELIZE THAT HE DIED FOR MY SISTERS HE DIED FOR MY BROTERS GOD IS SO AWSOME AND I DO'NT USE THAT WORD FOR BODY BUT GOD AND IF I DO IWANT TO RETRACT IT BECAUSE THERE'S ONLY ONE THAT AWSOME AND THAT GOD .AND THANK I THANK JESUS FOR LOVING ME SOOOOO MUCH HE WAS WILLING TO DIE FOR ME! THANK GOD FOR A PLAN AND JESUS LOVE AMEN.

Ithink the verseis trying to tell us no matter how people treat you or behavior is not nice and act around you you should love them anyway because we act like that to Jesus and he still love us he died to save our sins

I am grateful to almighty God that He had a plan of salvation that would span the length of time

"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." ( Romans 5:8)

Have you ever been in the presence of someone whose behavior made you want to pull back from them? Naturally, you did not desire to be around them. You did not want to extend yourself out to that one. In other words, you did not want to love that person.

You also know this person cannot love you. They may relate to you, but, as they are they cannot love.

You feel this is a one-sided relationship. You love, they do not. It does not sound like a relationship you want to invest in. It does not sound like a person you want "to love." But, that is Christ's love. That is God's love.

When we were very unlovely, God loved us. When we could not love God, He loved us. When we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

That is love. That is the love wherewith we are to love one another.

Thru the Innocent blood of the Lord Jesus.... Psalm 32 v 1&2
I am the Blessed 'one'! Thank you LORD.

The word law in Rom. 2:13, 5:20, Gal. 3:19 & 1 Tim. 3:19 is referencing a law that has been added to the law which increased the sin of Jesus' crucifixion to the level of unilateral accountability. The word trespass in Rom. 5:20 is the single trespass of Jesus' crucifixion which is the sin of murder caused by bloodshed. No sin is a direct benefit especially when bloodshed has caused the loss of a man's life. Therefore the crucifixion of Jesus is not a direct benefit. And is only beneficial by entering a change of the law
after his crucifixion so that it is only by the faith to obey God by this law that a grant to escape the penalty of eternal death is tendered to an individual who obeys God this Way. However the consequence for the person who refuses will result in that person serving the penalty of eternal death.
(Thanks for asking what I think)
