Summary
Romans 5:3-5 - Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, 4 and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, 5 and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.
Romans 2:12-16 - For all who have sinned without the law will also perish without the law, and all who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law. 13 For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified. 14 For when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law. 15 They show that the work of the law is written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness, and their conflicting thoughts accuse or even excuse them 16 on that day when, according to my gospel, God judges the secrets of men by Christ Jesus.

| 0:00.0 | Hi there and welcome back to the morning mindset. It's time for you and for me to get our minds aligned with the truth of God. |
| 0:11.0 | We are doing that currently by walking through the epistle of |
| 0:15.8 | Paul to the Romans. Now Romans is one of those books that after you read it you are never |
| 0:21.9 | the same because the way Paul lays out the |
| 0:25.6 | truth of the gospel and the love of God and how it impacts us is just unprecedented |
| 0:31.6 | there's nothing else like it. |
| 0:33.0 | Romans chapter 5 is where we find ourselves and we're in verses 3, 4 and 5 today. |
| 0:40.0 | And Paul has been explaining to us some of the benefits that come about from being justified |
| 0:46.9 | with God through our faith in Jesus Christ. |
| 0:51.1 | You see it's one thing to be justified and it's a wonderful blessing. But God's |
| 0:56.4 | blessing through Jesus doesn't end there. There is so much more. He's already |
| 1:00.8 | told us that we have peace with God through Jesus. He's already told us in |
| 1:05.9 | verse two that we have access to God's grace and that we have hope that we will one day see the glory of God in reality with our own eyes and we will be |
| 1:17.9 | protectors in that glory. |
| 1:20.3 | And now in verse three, he's going to present to us something that, I don't know, kind of makes your mind go tilt. |
| 1:27.0 | It causes us to kind of stop, and for me it kind of makes me catch my breath that okay he's talking about |
| 1:36.1 | real world things now and he's talking about things I understand and he's giving |
| 1:41.4 | me a perspective to get my brain around that is very very difficult |
| 1:46.0 | given the human circumstances that I endure every day and that's why as I'm so |
| 1:52.4 | fond of saying we've got to align our mind with the truth of God, |
| 1:56.6 | because there are passages like the one we're going to read today, where it's very difficult |
| 2:00.9 | to do that. |
