Pastor Bill Bush · Jan 9, 2022
In Romans 5:1–11, Paul calls believers to make a deliberate choice to rejoice in three compounding realities: the peace with God that comes through justification, the purposeful work God does through suffering (producing endurance, character, and confident hope), and the relationship with God Himself as Father rather than judge. Pastor Bill Bush argues that this joy is not a feeling that arrives automatically but a daily surrender to God's process — trusting that He is a good Father who uses even crushing pressure to make us more like Christ and to deepen our confident anticipation of what He will do.
