Romans 5:1-2 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
[2] By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
Paul mentions again and again that we have peace through the blood of Jesus Christ, which means that everything is all right between our soul and God.
That is wonderful peace!
It is Well With My Soul
________________________
When peace, like a river, attendeth my way, — When sorrows like sea billows roll; — Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say, — It is well, it is well with my soul.
CHORUS:
It is well with my soul, — It is well, it is well with my soul.
Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come, — Let this blest assurance control, — That Christ hath regarded my helpless estate, — And hath shed His own blood for my soul.
My sin—oh, the bliss of this glorious thought! — My sin, not in part but the whole, — Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more, — Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!
And Lord, haste the day when the faith shall be sight, — The clouds be rolled back as a scroll; — The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend, — Even so, it is well with my soul.
