I was reading Romans 5 yesterday:
Now the phrase "grace in which we stand"
jumped out at me. Upon reflections I would like to restate this:
"the favor of God in which we stand"
So we stand in the favor of God, a nice place to be, and nothing to be proud about.
We do serve a magnificent God indeed!
Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
