Romans 5 - Praying God's Word

Please read Romans 5.

www.blueletterbible.org/nasb/rom/5/1/s_1051001

Meditate on verses 10-11.

For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son,

much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.

And not only this, but we also exult in God through our LORD Jesus Christ,

 through whom we have now received the reconciliation.

Paul was so excited about what God did through Jesus for all Christians that he reinforced these great acts of God with great responses to Him. Paul responded with “exultation.” Exult comes from two Greek words meaning “to boast” and “to pray.”¹ Exultation is a rich spiritual response to God while in His presence, a Holy Spirit generated reaction to a divine realization.

Paul exults in the hope of the glory of God (v. 2). “Wow, God! You have done so much and look at what You have promised!”

Paul also exults in his tribulations (v. 3). “God, we are going to get through this with You and grow as we go!”

Paul exults in God through the LORD Jesus Christ (v. 11). “God, You love me so much! I can talk to You and brag about You because You saved, justified, and reconciled me through the LORD Jesus Christ!”

Exultation results when you recognize God’s hand in anything. Pray Romans 5:2-4 and 11 in exultation to the LORD.

“God, I exult in the hope of Your glory!

 I exult in my tribulations, knowing they bring perseverance,

 then proven character, then hope!   

I exult in You, God!

Through You, LORD Jesus Christ~”
