Romans 5:1-5 β "Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because Godβs love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us."

And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to deathβeven death on a cross!"

God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us. βFor in him we live and move and have our being.β As some of your own poets have said, 'We are his offspring.'"
