After spending the first four chapters roughly a quarter of the letter explaining how guilty mankind is before God, Paul has now transitioned into how blessed we are through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ The Son of God. Last week we saw that through Jesus we are justified by faith, meaning declared innocent of the death sentence that we were all under before, this has allowed us to receive peace with God, so the battle between ourselves and God is over and He has won, winning us, this has given us access to God, where all barriers including death, sin, traditions, nationalities, have all been torn down, we are free!
