Today’s Devotional
Romans 5:1 highlights the profound gift of being justified through faith in Jesus Christ. This justification means that we are declared righteous in the eyes of God, not because of our own efforts or good deeds, but because of the atoning sacrifice of Jesus. As a result, we are no longer enemies of God but are brought into a peaceful relationship with Him.
This peace with God is not simply a temporary ceasefire or a fragile truce. It is a deep, abiding peace that comes from knowing we are fully accepted and loved by our Creator. Through Jesus, we are granted access to God’s presence, where we can experience His love, mercy, and grace.

As you reflect on Romans 5:1, consider the following questions:
- What does it mean to be justified through faith in Jesus Christ?
- How does experiencing peace with God change your perspective on life and your relationship with Him?
