SEV Biblia, Chapter 5:9
Luego mucho ms ahora, justificados en su sangre, por l seremos salvos de la ira.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Romans 5:9
Verse 9. Much more then, being now justified] If Jesus Christ, in his endless comparison towards us gave his life for ours, while we were yet enemies; being now justified by his blood-by his death on the cross, and thus reconciled to God, we shall be saved from wrath-from punishment for past transgression, through him-by what he has thus suffered for us.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 9. Much more then being now justified by his blood , etc..] The apostle here argues from justification by Christ to salvation by him, there being a certain and inseparable connection between these two; whoever is justified shall be saved; and speaks of justification as being now by his blood. Justification in God's mind from eternity proceeded upon the suretyship engagements of Christ to be performed in time; the Old Testament saints were justified of God with a view to the blood of the Lamb which was to be shed; this blood was now shed, and an application of justification by it was now made to the persons spoken of; which is the reason of this way of speaking. The blood of Christ intends his death, as appears from the context, and shows it to be a violent death; death by the effusion of blood. There is an emphasis upon it, his blood; not the blood of bulls and goats, nor of a mere innocent creature, but of Christ the Son of God; which is therefore efficacious to all the purposes for which it was shed, and particularly justification. This being ascribed to it, shows the concern Christ had in it, his blood is here put for the whole matter of justification; the shedding of that being the finishing part of it; and that our justification before God proceeds upon the foot of a satisfaction made to the law and justice of God: hence such as are interested in it, shall be saved from wrath through him : not from wrath, as a corruption in their own hearts, which oftentimes breaks forth; nor as appearing among the people of God one towards another, which is sometimes very bitter; or as in their avowed enemies, the effects of which they often feel; nor from the wrath of devils, which is as the roaring of a lion; but from the wrath of God, from a sense and apprehension of it in their own consciences, which the law works; from which justification by the blood of Christ frees them; though under first awakenings they feel it, and sometimes, under afflictive dispensations of Providence, are ready to fear it: and also from the infliction of vindictive wrath or punishment for sin; for though they are as deserving of it as others, yet as they are not appointed to it, so they are entirely delivered from it, through Christ's sustaining it in their room and stead: wherefore they are secure from it both in this life, and in the world to come.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 6-11 - Christ died for sinners; not only such as were useless, but such a were guilty and hateful; such that their everlasting destruction woul be to the glory of God's justice. Christ died to save us, not in ou sins, but from our sins; and we were yet sinners when he died for us Nay, the carnal mind is not only an enemy to God, but enmity itself chap. 8:7; Col 1:21. But God designed to deliver from sin, and to wor a great change. While the sinful state continues, God loathes the sinner, and the sinner loathes God, Zec 11:8. And that for such a these Christ should die, is a mystery; no other such an instance of love is known, so that it may well be the employment of eternity to adore and wonder at it. Again; what idea had the apostle when he supposed the case of some one dying for a righteous man? And yet he only put it as a thing that might be. Was it not the undergoing thi suffering, that the person intended to be benefitted might be release therefrom? But from what are believers in Christ released by his death Not from bodily death; for that they all do and must endure. The evil from which the deliverance could be effected only in this astonishin manner, must be more dreadful than natural death. There is no evil, to which the argument can be applied, except that which the apostl actually affirms, sin, and wrath, the punishment of sin, determined by the unerring justice of God. And if, by Divine grace, they were thu brought to repent, and to believe in Christ, and thus were justified by the price of his bloodshedding, and by faith in that atonement, muc more through Him who died for them and rose again, would they be kep from falling under the power of sin and Satan, or departing finall from him. The living Lord of all, will complete the purpose of his dying love, by saving all true believers to the uttermost. Having suc a pledge of salvation in the love of God through Christ, the apostl declared that believers not only rejoiced in the hope of heaven, an even in their tribulations for Christ's sake, but they gloried in God also, as their unchangeable Friend and all-sufficient Portion, throug Christ only.
