Romans 5  The truth of God's Word shared here by the apostle Paul is so magnificent !  I love the phrase Paul repeats.. " how much more.. " !
How much more is God's grace!
How much more is His deliverance from God's wrath...
How much more is His overflowing grace.. "the gift of being considered righteous .. "
How much more is His forgiveness!
How much more is His love!

 "So, let us boast about the hope of experiencing God's glory."  Paul encourages us,  "For while we were still helpless, at the right time, the Messiah died on behalf of ungodly people." 

God demonstrated "his own love for us in that the Messiah died on our behalf while we were yet sinners." 

How much more...  Oh Father in heaven, You have "blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus.."  You have done so much more than we could ask or imagine.  And, You are not finished yet!  You have taken us out of darkness and into the Kingdom of the Beloved Son.  You have acquitted us from all our offenses and given us the free gift of righteousness.  You have given us hope for a life that will have no end.. with You.. in Your eternal Kingdom.  We boast about how Great and Amazing You are!  Thank You for demonstrating Your love to us while we were helpless, by sending Jesus Christ to die on our behalf.  Praise and honor and glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. amen.
