Romans 5:7-8 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.… I. THE PLEDGE OF GOD'S LOVE TO US — He died for us — while yet enemies. II. THE PLEDGE OF SALVATION — it justifies and reconciles us to God. Much more shall we be saved from final wrath and share in the blessedness of life. III. THE PLEDGE OF UNSPEAKABLE HAPPINESS IN GOD. Joy in God is the only true happiness — is secured in the reconciliation effected by the atonement. (J. Lyth, D. D.)
