‏ Romans 5:2

v. 2: Through Jesus, we also have access by faith into this grace in which we stand (Romans 5:2 ^a). This means we have been brought into a place of God’s favor and kindness. We were not born into this state, but Jesus leads us into it. We now stand accepted before God. This standing is secure and confident, not something we can lose easily, because it is based on God’s grace and power (Philippians 1:6 ^b).

Paul says, we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Because we have God’s grace now, we can look forward with joy to sharing in God’s glory in heaven. The hope of seeing God’s glory makes us rejoice even now (Psalm 84:11 ^c).
