Discussion Questions
This passage emphasizes the security Christians have in justification. What are the words used in 5:6-8 to describe Christians before justification takes place? What do these mean?
What are the benefits of justification described in Romans 5:1-11? Which of these benefits are already accessible? Which will come in the future?
Additional Study: Leviticus 16. In Leviticus 16, God describes the process that must take place on the Day of Atonement. How is this different from what we see in Romans 5:1-2?
What is the role of the Holy Spirit as described in Romans 5:5? What is His purpose in the life of the believer?
Additional Study: James 1:2-4, 1 Peter 1:6-7. These are 3 NT passages that describe the process of developing endurance through suffering. How have you seen suffering produce benefit in your life or the world around you?
This passage describes hope and reconciliation. How would you define reconciliation with God based on this passage? What does it mean? What are the benefits?
