by faith
Faith is the means by which believers receive God's grace.Hebrews 11:1 defines faith as confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. This faith is not merely intellectual assent but involves trust and reliance on Christ's finished work.Ephesians 2:8-9 underscores that faith itself is a gift from God, not a result of works.

into this grace
Grace refers to the unmerited favor of God. In the context of Romans, it highlights the transition from the law to grace, a central theme in Paul's writings (Romans 6:14). Grace is the foundation of the believer's relationship with God, contrasting with the works-based righteousness of the law. This grace is abundant and sufficient for all needs (2 Corinthians 12:9).

in which we stand
The phrase indicates a firm and secure position. Standing in grace suggests stability and assurance in the believer's life. This standing is not precarious but is guaranteed by the promises of God (1 Corinthians 15:1). It reflects the believer's new identity and position in Christ, as opposed to being under condemnation (Romans 8:1).

And we rejoice
Rejoicing is a natural response to the assurance of salvation and the hope believers have in Christ. This joy is not dependent on circumstances but is rooted in the eternal truths of the gospel.Philippians 4:4 encourages believers to rejoice always, reflecting a life transformed by the Spirit.

in the hope of the glory of God
Hope in this context is a confident expectation of future glory. It is not wishful thinking but a certainty based on God's promises. The glory of God refers to the ultimate fulfillment of God's plan, including the believer's glorification (Romans 8:30). This hope sustains believers through trials and is a key theme in eschatological teachings (Titus 2:13).

Paul has just named “our Lord Jesus Christ” (Romans 5:1). He immediately adds, “through whom,” reminding us that every spiritual blessing flows solely through the person and work of Jesus.

• Jesus Himself declared, “I am the way… No one comes to the Father except through Me” (John 14:6).

• By His high-priestly ministry we “have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens” (Hebrews 4:14-16), giving believers boldness before God.

• “For through Him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit” (Ephesians 2:18).

“Access” is the privilege of approach to God’s very presence. Paul speaks of it as something already secured—“we have gained.”

• The curtain is torn (Matthew 27:51); believers now walk right into the throne room (Hebrews 10:19-22).

• This access is not tentative; it is a permanent welcome, echoingEphesians 3:12: “In Him and through faith in Him we may enter God’s presence with boldness and confidence.”

Faith is the God-ordained means of receiving what Christ has achieved.

• “The righteous will live by faith” (Romans 1:17).

• Salvation is “by grace… through faith—this not from yourselves” (Ephesians 2:8-9).

• Faith acknowledges we bring nothing but need and gladly trust Christ’s finished work (Galatians 3:26).

Grace is more than a one-time pardon; it is the new realm believers inhabit.

• We don’t tiptoe in and out; we “stand”—a settled, secure position (1 Peter 5:12).

• Grace sustains daily life: “Be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus” (2 Timothy 2:1).

• God’s grace stabilizes hearts (Hebrews 13:9), holding us firm when feelings waver.

The privilege of grace erupts in gladness.

• Joy is commanded: “Rejoice in the Lord always” (Philippians 4:4).

• Joy persists even in trials because it rests on unchanging realities (James 1:2;Acts 16:25).

• Christian rejoicing is not escapism; it is confidence rooted in God’s promises (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18).

Hope here is eager certainty, not wishful thinking.

• God’s “glory” is His manifested splendor; one day believers will share in it: “Christ in you, the hope of glory” (Colossians 1:27).

• “When He appears, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is” (1 John 3:2).

• That future glory shapes present living: “We wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ” (Titus 2:13).

Romans 5:2 unfolds a chain of blessings: through Jesus we already possess full access to God, received by faith, placing us firmly inside an atmosphere of grace. Standing there, we overflow with joy because our future is bright—the certain prospect of sharing in God’s glory. Assurance in Christ, present grace, and future glory together fuel unshakable rejoicing in every season.

Into this grace.--This state of acceptance and favour with God, the fruit of justification.

Rejoice.--The word used elsewhere for "boasting." The Christianhas his boasting, but it is not based upon his own merits. It is a joyful and triumphant confidence in the future, not only felt, but expressed.

The glory of God.--That glory which the "children of the kingdom" shall share with the Messiah Himself when His eternal reign begins.
