From Theology to Life and Back Again - Part 1

Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. - Romans 5:1–2 (ESV) We often think of theology as an academic study disconnected from real life. Big books and ivory towers are what theologians use and where they live, but those of us that live in the real world we just want something we can do. We need a principle for Monday on Sunday. Paul won't let us disconnect theology from life. As we round the corner to Romans 5, he wants us to see how the doctrine of Justification by Faith comes into life and even into our troubles. Why don't you take a few minutes and read through Romans 5. Have you ever rejoiced in your sufferings? Come on Sunday and find out how that is even possible.
