What if the word "therefore" could unlock the whole gospel? In this teaching on Romans 5:1–10, Pastor Tommy shows how Paul's "therefore" hinges back to Romans 4 and Abraham's justification by faith, then builds forward into the beautiful benefits that flow from being made right with God. Tommy walks through peace with God, access into grace, and a hope that never disappoints, all made possible because the Holy Spirit has poured out God's love into the hearts of believers. It all comes to a head at his favorite verse in the whole passage, Romans 5:8, where we see God's love on full display: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. This is a message about grace that meets us exactly where we are, and it might just change how you see God's love today.
