OBSERVATION
STAGE
The purpose of
the observation stage is to maintain focus on the text at hand within the
normative rules of language, context and logic 
which limits the observer to the content offered by the book of Romans.
This will serve to avoid going on unnecessary tangents elsewhere; and more
importantly, it will provide the framework for a proper and objective
comparison with passages located elsewhere in Scripture.
Remember that
something elsewhere may be true, but in the text at hand it may not be in
view.
Notice that
verse one of chapter five continues the context of chapter four:
"having
been declared righteous [i.e., justified], then, by faith, we have peace
toward God through our Lord Jesus Christ"

EXCERPT FROM CHAPTER 4 ***************
PAUL
REITERATES A KEY THEME OF HIS LETTER TO THE ROMANS, THAT ANYONE, JEW OR
GENTILE, WHO EXPRESSES THE SAME FAITH THAT ABRAHAM EXPRESSED IN THE
PROMISE OF GOD TO PROVIDE THROUGH ABRAHAM'S SEED A MESSIAH/SAVIOR, OUR
LORD JESUS CHRIST, WHO WAS RAISED BY GOD FROM THE DEAD AND WAS DELIVERED
OVER BECAUSE OF OUR TRANSGRESSIONS AND RAISED BECAUSE OF OUR
JUSTIFICATION - THAT PERSON HAS ETERNAL LIFE
[End of excerpt
from chapter 4]
********** END
OF EXCERPT FROM CHAPTER 4 ********
I)
[Ro 5:1 NAS]:
OBSERVATIONS
A)
IN VIEW ARE THOSE WHO HAVE EXPRESSED A MOMENT OF FAITH IN WHAT ABRAHAM
BELIEVED (THE GOSPEL) AND THUS HAVE BEEN JUSTIFIED UNTO ETERNAL LIFE BY
GOD AS A COMPLETED PERMANENT, PASSIVE ACTION. ONCE EXERCISED,
THE FAITH IS NOT STIPULATED AS HAVING TO CONTINUE. IT SHOULD CONTINUE
BUT NO LONGER NEEDS TO BE EXPRESSED TO REMAIN JUSTIFIED. HENCE HUMAN
DOING IS NOT REQUIRED AT ANY TIME. ONE SIMPLY EXPRESSES A MOMENT OF
TRUST IN GOD TO DO IT ALL
B)
WE WHO HAVE EXPRESSED A MOMENT OF FAITH ALONE IN CHRIST ALONE HAVE BEEN
PERMANENTLY JUSTIFIED, I.E., DECLARED RIGHTEOUS UNTO ETERNAL LIFE BY
GOD. AT THAT INSTANT WE BEGAN TO HAVE A PERMANENT POSITION OF ETERNAL
PEACE WITH GOD - NEVER AGAIN TO BE SUBJECT TO HIS ETERNAL WRATH - WE
HAVE BEEN ETERNALLY RECONCILED TO GOD
1)
[Compare Ro 5:9-10]:
C)
SINCE THE PARTICULAR KIND OF PEACE TOWARD GOD IN VIEW IS EXCLUSIVELY
THROUGH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST; AND SINCE THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN JUSTIFIED
BY FAITH ARE NOT PICTURED IN THIS CONTEXT AS LEADING SINLESSLY PERFECT
LIFESTYLES IN ORDER TO BE CONSTANTLY AT PEACE WITH GOD IN THEIR
EXPERIENCE; THEN EXPERIENTIAL (MOMENT TO MOMENT) PEACE WITH GOD, WHICH
IS DEPENDENT UPON ONGOING RIGHTEOUS BEHAVIOR, IS NOT IN VIEW IN 5:1
D)
ALTERNATIVE READING OF LET US HAVE PEACE TOWARD OR WITH GOD IS RULED OUT
1)
[Compare Ro 5:10-11]:
II)
[Ro 5:2]:
OBSERVATIONS
A)
WE WHO HAVE BEEN DECLARED RIGHTEOUS BY GOD UNTO ETERNAL LIFE BY OUR
EXPRESSION OF A MOMENT OF FAITH ALONE, HAVE GAINED AN ETERNAL STANDING
OF GRACE WITH GOD WHICH INCLUDES A POSITION OF ETERNAL PEACE WITH GOD
WHICH HAD BEGUN WHEN WE EXPRESSED THAT MOMENT OF FAITH
B)
THOSE OF US WHO HAVE BEEN JUSTIFIED BY EXPRESSING THE FAITH OF ABRAHAM,
(THE GOSPEL), HAVE GAINED ACCESS INTO THIS GRACE OF GOD INTO WHICH WE
HAVE BEGUN STANDING IN AND NOW CONTINUE TO STAND: AN ETERNALLY SECURE
POSITION WITH GOD WHICH INCLUDES AN ETERNAL COMMUNION OF PEACE WITH GOD
- NEVERMORE UNDER HIS ETERNAL WRATH
C)
THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN JUSTIFIED ARE NOW IN A POSITION OF NEW OPPORTUNITY,
BUT MAY NOT CHOOSE TO REJOICE [BOAST] IN THE SURE HOPE OF PARTICIPATING
IN AND EXPRESSING THE ETERNAL GLORY OF GOD
1)
TO REJOICE = TO EXPRESS THE EMOTION OF JOY IN A BOASTFUL MANNER
2)
WE WHO HAVE BEEN JUSTIFIED BY FAITH ARE NOW IN A POSITION TO REJOICE IN
SURE AND CERTAIN HOPE OF RECEIVING THE ETERNAL GLORY OF GOD. ON THE
OTHER HAND WE MAY CHOOSE NOT TO DO THIS
a)
THE HOPE OF THE GLORY OF GOD IS A SURE AND CERTAIN HOPE
b)
THE CONTEXT OF VERSES 5:1-2 IS ONE OF DECLARATION OF A POSITION OF NEW
OPPORTUNTY WHICH WE WHO HAVE BEEN JUSTIFIED HAVE RECEIVED AS OPPOSED TO
OUR DAY TO DAY EXPERIENCE
3)
WE WHO HAVE BECOME JUSTIFIED WILL ENTER INTO THE EXPRESSION OF THE
HONOR, POWER AND HOLINESS OF GOD
a)
[Compare Ro 1:16-17; 3:21-24]:
III)
[Ro 5:3-5]:
OBSERVATIONS
A)
NOT ONLY ARE WE WHO HAVE BEEN JUSTIFIED BY FAITH NOW IN A POSITION TO
REJOICE IN SURE AND CERTAIN HOPE OF RECEIVING THE ETERNAL GLORY OF GOD
BUT WE ARE ALSO IN A POSITION OF NEW OPPORTUNITY TO REJOICE IN OUR
SUFFERINGS, I.E., LIFE'S INEVITABLE AFFLICTIONS
B)
THEREFORE SINCE WE HAVE BEEN JUSTIFIED, WE ARE STIPULATED AS BEING IN A
POSITION OF NEW OPPORTUNITIES. WE ARE EXHORTED TO REJOICE IN OUR
SUFFERINGS BECAUSE WE ARE TO KNOW THAT SUFFERING PRODUCES PERSEVERANCE;
PERSEVERANCE, CHARACTER AND CHARACTER, A SURE HOPE OF THE ETERNAL GLORY
OF GOD AND OF BEING DELIVERED THROUGH DAILY AFFLICTIONS BY GOD
C)
OUR SURE HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE AND DELIVERANCE THROUGH DAILY AFFLICTIONS
IS NOT DISAPPOINTED IN US BECAUSE GOD'S LOVE IS STIPULATED AS POURED OUT
INTO OUR HEARTS (MINDS) BY THE HOLY SPIRIT WHOM GOD HAS GIVEN TO US WHO
HAVE BEEN JUSTIFIED
D)
THE HOLY SPIRIT IS PERMANENTLY GIVEN TO WE WHO HAVE BEEN
JUSTIFIED SO THAT GOD'S LOVE IS POURED OUT INTO OUR HEARTS (MINDS) SO
THAT WE ARE NOT DISAPPOINTED IN OUR SURE HOPE OF RECEIVING THE ETERNAL
GLORY OF GOD AND OF BEING DELIVERED THROUGH DAILY AFFLICTIONS
E)
WE WHO HAVE BEEN JUSTIFIED ARE EXHORTED TO DO MORE THAN RESIGNING
OURSELVES TO OUR SUFFERING
IV)
[Ro 5:6]:
OBSERVATIONS
A)
GOD HAS IN VIEW FROM HIS ETERNAL PERSPECTIVE, ALL OF THE UNGODLY, I.E.
ALL OF HUMANITY, MORE SPECIFICALLY THE SINS OF ALL MANKIND FOR WHICH
CHRIST DIED
V)
[Ro 5:7]:
OBSERVATIONS
A)
HISTORICALLY SPEAKING, HARDLY FOR SOMEONE WHO IS JUST, (BEHAVES ON A
RELATIVELY HIGHER MORAL AND ETHICAL PLANE), WILL ONE OFFER TO DIE;
PERHAPS ONE MIGHT OFFER TO DIE FOR SOMEONE WHO IS RELATIVELY GOOD,
(BENEVOLENT AND SELF-SACRIFICING FOR FELLOW MAN). GOD'S STANDARD OF
BEING ABSOLUTELY RIGHTEOUS AND GOOD UNTO ETERNAL LIFE IS NOT IN
VIEW HERE
VI)
[Ro 5:8]:
OBSERVATIONS
A)
THE SACRIFICIAL DEATH OF JESUS CHRIST FOR UNGODLY MANKIND - IS PORTRAYED
AS AN ABSOLUTELY GRACIOUS ACT WHEN IT IS COMPARED TO ONE WHO WOULD
RARELY DIE FOR A RELATIVELY RIGHTEOUS MAN OR MIGHT POSSIBLY DIE FOR A
MAN OF RELATIVE HUMAN GOOD
B)
GOD'S ACTION THROUGH THE DEATH OF HIS SON JESUS CHRIST WAS DONE IN ORDER
TO DEMONSTRATE HIS LOVE FOR US SINNERS WHO HAVE BEEN JUSTIFIED; BUT NOT
ONLY FOR US BUT FOR ALL MANKIND
VII)
[Ro 5:9]:
OBSERVATIONS
A)
VERSE 5:9 REPEATS THE MESSAGE OF 5:1 EMPHATICALLY DECLARING THAT
CHRIST'S SACRIFICAL DEATH WHICH IS FURTHER STIPULATED AS BEING THROUGH
HIS BLOOD WILL RESULT IN US WHO HAVE BEEN JUSTIFIED BEING SAVED FROM
GOD'S ETERNAL WRATH. NOTE THAT SALVATION FROM GOD'S TEMPORAL WRATH IS
NOT IN VIEW
B)
THE PHRASE "JUSTIFIED BY HIS BLOOD" REFERS SPECIFICALLY TO
CHRIST'S SACRIFICE WHEREIN HE DIED FOR THE UNGODLINESS OF UNGODLY
MANKIND VIA A CRITICAL LOSS OF HIS BLOOD
1)
[Compare Ro 3:22-25a]:
a)
Redemption, (Being Freed From The Consequence Of Ones Sins Unto A
Righteousness From God), Came By Christ Jesus Whom God Displayed
Publicly, i.e., Provided An Observable Demonstration To The World Of
Christ Jesus' Propitiation In His Blood, i.e., His Satisfactory Atoning
Sacrifice In His Blood, For The Sins Of The Whole World Which Redemption
Comes Through Faith In That Sacrifice
VIII)
[Ro 5:10-11]:
OBSERVATIONS
A)
PRIOR TO BEING JUSTIFIED WE WERE GOD'S ENEMIES, THEN WHEN WE BECAME
JUSTIFIED BY FAITH WE WERE RECONCILED, I.E., DECLARED TO HAVE A POSITION
OF ETERNAL PEACE AND FRIENDSHIP WITH GOD WHICH IS STIPULATED AS THROUGH
THE DEATH OF GOD'S SON
B)
THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN (1) BEING RECONCILED WHEREIN THE ACCOUNT
OF MAN'S UNRIGHTEOUSNESS HAS BEEN RECONCILED WITH GOD AND HENCE
PROVISION HAS BEEN MADE AS A RESULT OF CHRIST'S REDEMPTION FOR THE
UNGODLY, I.E., FOR ALL MANKIND AND (2) BEING RECONCILED WHEREIN ONE HAS
ACCEPTED AS TRUE, (BELIEVED IN), THAT PROVISION AND IS IN AN ETERNAL
POSITION OF BEING NO LONGER AT ENMITY WITH GOD
1)
[Compare Ro 5:1 NAS]:
C)
BEING ETERNALLY RECONCILED TO GOD RESULTS IN BEING SAVED UNTO ETERNAL
LIFE BY GOD'S SON'S RESURRECTION LIFE
1)
[Compare Ro 3:21-24]:
2)
[Compare Ro 4:23-25]:
D)
WE WHO HAVE BEEN JUSTIFIED ARE IN A POSITION OF NEW OPPORTUNTY TO
REJOICE IN GOD THROUGH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST BECAUSE IT IS THROUGH JESUS
CHRIST WE HAVE RECEIVED RECONCILIATION = AN ETERNAL POSITION OF PEACE
AND FRIENDSHIP WITH GOD
IX)
[Ro 5:12]:
OBSERVATIONS
A)
VERSE 12 BEGINS A SERIES OF STARK CONTRASTS BETWEEN THE ONE MAN ADAM
WHOSE TRANSGRESSION BROUGHT SIN AND DEATH INTO THE WORLD FOR ALL
MANKIND AND THE ONE MAN JESUS CHRIST WHOSE RIGHTEOUS ACT BROUGHT
RECONCILIATION WITH GOD AND THE FREE GRACE GIFT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS FOR
ALL MEN TO RECEIVE THROUGH AN INDIVIDUAL'S MOMENT OF FAITH UNTO
ETERNAL LIFE
B)
MANKIND ORIGINALLY HAD AN ETERNAL PHYSICAL AND SPIRITUAL FELLOWSHIP WITH
GOD. WHEN SIN ENTERED THE WORLD THROUGH THE ONE MAN, PHYSICAL AND
SPIRITUAL DEATH / SEPARATION FROM DAILY FELLOWSHIP WITH GOD CAME THROUGH
THAT SIN TO ALL MANKIND, AND NOT JUST TO ALL TYPES OF MEN
1)
[Compare Ro 1:18, 20, 29-32; 2:7-8]:
C)
ALTHOUGH ONE MAN SINNED IN THE BEGINNING, ALL MEN WERE CAUSED BY THAT
ACTION TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THAT ORIGINAL SIN, INHERIT A SINFUL
NATURE AND EXPERIENCE PHYSICAL AND SPIRITUAL DEATH / SEPARATION FROM
DAILY FELLOWSHIP WITH GOD AND ETERNAL CONDEMNATION
1)
[Compare Ro 3:9-12]:
a)
OT Scripture Corroborates Paul's Statement That Jews and Gentiles Alike
Are All Under Sin
i)
[Compare Psalms 14:1-3; 53:1-3]:
ii)
[Compare Eccl 7:20]:
2)
[Compare Ro 3:21-23]:
X)
[Ro 5:13-14]:
OBSERVATIONS
A)
NO LAW, I.E., RULES BY GOD GOVERNING HUMAN BEHAVIOR WAS IN FORCE FROM
THE BEGINNING UNTIL THE TIME OF MOSES, EVEN THOUGH SIN WAS IN THE WORLD.
ON THE OTHER HAND, INDIVIDUALS ARE NOT HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTS
OF SIN WHEN THERE IS NO LAW
1)
[Compare Ro 3:21-23]:
B)
WHILE THERE WAS NO LAW BY GOD GOVERNING HUMAN BEHAVIOR, INDIVIDUALS WERE
NOT HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR ACTS OF SIN RELATIVE TO THE CONSEQUENCE OF
PHYSICAL AND SPIRITUAL DEATH / SEPARATION FROM DAILY FELLOWSHIP WITH
GOD. NEVERTHELESS, DEATH DID REIGN POINTING TO THE COMPLETED ACTION OF
SIN IN THE PAST BY THE ONE MAN, ADAM AS THE CAUSE OF PHYSICAL AND
SPIRITUAL DEATH
C)
BEFORE LAW THERE WERE COMMANDS GIVEN BY GOD WHICH TO VIOLATE ONE WAS TO
COMMIT SIN. ADAM IS STIPULATED AS HAVING DONE THIS WHICH CAUSED SIN TO
ENTER THE WORLD AND DEATH THROUGH SIN TO ALL MANKIND
1)
[Compare Romans 4:7]:
2) [(Ro 5:13-14) Compare Bible Knowledge Commentary On Ro 5:13-14]:
D)
ADAM IS THEN DESCRIBED AS A PATTERN OF THE ONE WHO IS COMING, JESUS
CHRIST. THE PATTERN IN VIEW IS A PATTERN OF REPRESENTING ALL HUMANITY IN
SOME FUNCTION. FOR JESUS CHRIST IT WAS TO PROVIDE REDEMPTION BY DYING
FOR THE SINS THE UNGODLY, I.E., ALL MANKIND
1)
[Compare Ro 3:21-24]:

B)
OBSERVATIONS OF VERSE 5:15
1)
THE PHRASE "BUT, NOT AS THE OFFENSE SO ALSO [IS] THE FREE GIFT?"
POSES A RHETORICAL QUESTION IN AN EMPHATIC NEGATIVE WAY TO SAY 'IN NO
WAY IS THE OFFENSE OF THE ONE MAN ADAM LIKE THE FREE GIFT OF THE
ONE MAN JESUS CHRIST'
2)
ON THE ONE HAND ADAM CAUSED SIN AND DEATH TO INFECT ALL MANKIND; ON THE
OTHER HAND, SO MUCH THE MORE DID THE FREE GIFT OF THE GRACE OF GOD OF
REDEMPTION UNTO ETERNAL LIFE THROUGH JESUS CHRIST ABOUND TO ALL MANKIND
TO BE RECEIVED AS EACH INDIVIDUAL CHOOSES TO ACCEPT THE GIFT VIA A
MOMENT OF FAITH ALONE IN CHRIST ALONE
a)
There Is A Difference Between (1) Being Reconciled Wherein The Account
Of Man's Unrighteousness Has Been Reconciled With God And Hence
Provision Has Been Made As A Result Of Christ's Redemption For The
Ungodly, i.e., For All Mankind And (2) Being Reconciled Wherein One Has
Accepted As True, (Believed In), That Provision And Is Immediately In An
Eternal Position Of Being No Longer At Enmity With God
i)
[Compare Ro 5:1 NAS with Ro 5:15 ASV]:
[Compare
Ro 3:21-24]:
C)
OBSERVATIONS OF VERSE 5:16
1)
A SECOND CONTRAST IS PRESENTED BEGINNING WITH THE RHETORICAL QUESTION BY
NO MEANS IS THE FREE GIFT OF ETERNAL LIFE THROUGH THE ONE WHO SINNED?
2)
THE FREE GIFT IS NOT AS THE OFFENSE, FOR BY THE JUDGMENT OF THE ONE
OFFENSE CAME CONDEMNATION UNTO PHYSICAL AND SPIRITUAL DEATH / SEPARATION
FROM DAILY FELLOWSHIP WITH GOD TO ALL MANKIND; SO MUCH THE MORE BY THE
FREE GIFT WHICH CAME AS A RESULT OF ALL OFFENSES [SINS] IS THERE
A DECLARATION OF 'RIGHTEOUS' MADE AVAILABLE TO ALL MANKIND AND RECEIVED
BY EACH ONE WHO BELIEVES
3)
THE GIFT OF CHRIST'S ATONEMENT FOR THE SINS OF THE WHOLE WORLD RESULTS
IN THE AVAILABILITY OF JUSTIFICATION UNTO ETERNAL LIFE FOR ALL MANKIND.
ANYONE OF ALL MANKIND MAY CHOOSE TO TRUST ALONE IN CHRIST ALONE AND BE
JUSTIFIED - WHICH JUSTIFICATION IS THEREBY FREE - NO STRINGS ATTACHED
a)
[Compare Ro 3:21-24]:
D)
OBSERVATIONS OF VERSE 5:17
1)
BY THE ONE OFFENSE OF ADAM, DEATH REIGNED IN LIFE FOR ALL MANKIND, SO
MUCH THE MORE, BY THE ONE RIGHTEOUS ACT OF JESUS CHRIST THE ABUNDANCE OF
GOD'S GRACE AND THE ABUNDANCE OF THE GIFT OF A RIGHTEOUSNESS FROM GOD
WILL REIGN IN LIFE FOR THE ONES RECEIVING THEM BY FAITH
E)
OBSERVATIONS OF VERSE 5:18
1)
BY ONE TRESPASS JUDGMENT CAME TO ALL MEN OF CONDEMNATION UNTO ETERNAL
DEATH
a)
[Compare Ro 2:6-8]:
2)
SO MUCH THE MORE BY THE ONE ACT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, I.E., CHRIST'S
REDEMPTIVE ACT CAME THE AVAILABILITY OF JUSTIFICATION UNTO ETERNAL LIFE
TO ALL MEN THROUGH A MOMENT OF FAITH ALONE IN CHRIST ALONE
a)
[Compare Ro 1:16]:
F)
OBSERVATIONS OF VERSE 5:19
1)
BY THE ONE MAN ADAM'S DISOBEDIENCE, I.E., TRESPASS, MANY = ALL MANKIND,
WERE MADE SINNERS; SO MUCH THE MORE, BY THE OBEDIENCE OF THE ONE MAN
JESUS CHRIST SHALL BE THE MEANS BY WHICH THROUGH FAITH IN HIM THE MANY =
ALL MANKIND, WILL BE MADE RIGHTEOUS
a)
[Compare Ro 3:21-24]:
i)
All Individuals Have Available To Them The Opportunity To Be Justified,
i.e., Declared To Have The Righteousness From God Unto Eternal Life Freely
And By God's Grace, (i.e., Via Unmerited Favor) Which Both
Support The Eternal Security Of The Believer And Do Not Obligate Him In
Any Way
2)
THE IMPLICATION HERE IS THAT THE PERFECT OBEDIENCE OF JESUS CHRIST IS
ESSENTIAL TO THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE REDEMPTION THAT CAME BY HIM
a)
[Compare Ro 3:21-24]:
G)
OBSERVATIONS OF VERSE 5:20
1)
BY GOD'S DESIGN LAW CAME SO THAT MEN MIGHT BE CONSCIOUS OF SIN AND
THEREBY TRESPASSES AGAINST LAW MIGHT INCREASE THUS EXPOSING AN
INDIVIDUAL'S SIN NATURE FOR WHAT IT IS TO HIMSELF. SO MUCH THE MORE
WHERE SIN ABOUNDED, GOD'S GRACE ABOUNDED ALL THE MORE TO COVER THOSE
SINS FOR ALL MANKIND SO THAT THOSE INDIVIDUALS WHO EXPRESS A MOMENT OF
FAITH IN THE REDEMPTION THAT CAME FROM JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD RECEIVE
GOD'S RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH REIGNS IN LIFE IN THEM UNTO ETERNAL LIFE
a)
[Compare Ro 3:19-20]:
b)
[Compare Ro 4:15]:
H)
OBSERVATIONS OF VERSE 5:21
1)
BY GOD'S DESIGN LAW CAME SO THAT MEN MIGHT BE CONSCIOUS OF SIN AND
THEREBY TRESPASSES AGAINST LAW MIGHT INCREASE THUS EXPOSING AN
INDIVIDUAL'S SIN NATURE FOR WHAT IT IS TO HIMSELF. HENCE SIN REIGNED
PRODUCING PHYSICAL AND SPIRITUAL DEATH / SEPARATION FROM DAILY
FELLOWSHIP WITH GOD THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. SO MUCH THE MORE WHERE SIN
ABOUNDED, GOD'S GRACE ABOUNDED ALL THE MORE TO COVER THOSE SINS FOR ALL
MANKIND SO THAT THOSE INDIVIDUALS WHO EXPRESS A MOMENT OF FAITH IN THE
REDEMPTION THAT CAME FROM JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD RECEIVE GOD'S
RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH REIGNS IN LIFE IN THEM UNTO ETERNAL LIFE
