Peace with God

Romans 5:1-2 

1 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

Peace with God is acquired when God extends his grace

Our Hope Is Not in Vain

Romans 8:18

Our hope is not in vain because:

Trouble makes us cling to our hope

 God consoles us in our sufferings

Troubles don’t last always
