We Have Now Received the Reconciliation

Justified by faith, believers have peace with God through the Lord Jesus Christ and stand in grace. They rejoice in hope of the glory of God, they rejoice even in tribulation because it produces endurance, character, and hope, and above all they rejoice in God himself. God showed his love in that while they were still sinners Christ died for them, and if they were reconciled by his death, much more will they be saved by his life.
