Memory Verse
Therefore, having been justified out from faith, we have peace towards the God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through Whom also we have access, by faith, into this grace in which we stand and we boast upon the hope of God’s proper opinion (Romans 5:1–2).
The term “glory” refers to having or holding a proper opinion. Since we are justified by faith through our Lord Jesus Christ, the access we have is by faith, not by works. Therefore, the grace in which we stand by faith reflects God’s opinion of us in Christ. This is where our boast is—not in our works.
