and so god knew that you know i like the bible god knows man he says you would have to know how to have hope in a hopeless society in a hopeless culture someone tell you how you can have both is that a good god faith we have peace do we have peace with god through our lord jesus christ therefore says we have been justified by faith because in all the other chapters what are you talking about saying that we're just by faith not works so he says says we have been justified by faith justified means that god makes is if we never absented before that god says that we have a right to enter heaven because the price that jesus pa how do we get that right by faith and because we have been faith in christ jesus we have been made justified and it says we have peace with god for a large is christ listen if i know that i made right with god i should find peace you know i some don't have peace they're not right with god if you're right with god you have peace does that mean that you you can be born again and never never have sorrow no they'll be times as saul does that mean if you're born again that at times that every day that life is going to be perfect no there will be times when you need peace that passes understanding you need peace day because there doesn't make sense that you can have any peace but what this is saying is by faith in christ jesus know what he's done for me i can find peace in the midst of this rule i get by peace it doesn't matter what you think about me no matter that peace because i justify before god  you know that by faith we have access to things that people that don't know christ have no access to we have a resource that others don't have you see we get to go directly to jesus we want to look pedia for the answer we can go to jesus through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand he's saying that we have access to god's grace which is god's on merited favor we have access to god's favor the god of heaven the god of the universe we have access to get favor from the god of the universe by our faith in christ jesus through him we have also obtained access by bit into th in which we stand you stand in his grace do you know that you have the favor of god do you live your life that way that you have the favor of god as christians we can walk with their head  if you're not you probably have secret sin that you not let in the grace of jesus take care of did you hear me if you have secret sin you walk around like this is a christian it is because you haven't obtained his grace power is straight dead the victory over that c n n is there for you so if you walk in the midst of sin and you're stumbling and falling you have access by faith to the grace of god to stand bought a truck that probably paid too much for and that i've spent all the money in and i don't know i were just going to rejoice my hope is in jesus not that  i bought a house that i know maybe i want to go there and now that you know you buy a house you don't get that you pay somebody respected but you don't get the gold brick digging in the attic and everything else i guess you could if i lived there they would say what if i would have bought that house here the owners were not of love me god listen everything that i need god has for me he is my hope and this is the hope and what i have hope of the glory of god i know this that the glory of god walks with this ten years older than you don't know what god's going to do but what does this say is that as i read joyce in my sufferings anybody ever suffered anybody anybody ever suffered like anybody suffering now will anybody go through some struggles now anybody has some challenges now anybody working through some things now is rejoice you know rejoice means happy got cancer i'm going to get you tested for your brain hollow i got into actually did i lost my leg that's not what it's saying is say in the midst of losing your in durance or patients and it durance produces character you know why some of you are a character is that of having character because you don't stick mess as that of enduring through it allowed to build character in you and so what happens is you don't get to the next point and that character produces  through that suffering allow that to build character in you and then you have hope so how does this work is i want to go to the top of the mountain how you going to get there no most want to get that view is not that great when you get flown up there you know what it's good you know when they would use good when you and sweated and you said i can't do it i can't do it i can't do it your body next is come on come on come on and when you go through the suffering when you're indurain the pain is starts to build some character in you because all of a son is something gets is i can do it see people who have character say i could do it people who have character take somebody else along with them to help them to get the same character so or give an example mountain almost falls of him but he's been there in portland area falls beautiful falls levels falls and they've got it that you can walk all the way to the top so i see the falls in my head says falls you've got to get at the top that's how my brain works some you're looking there i'm not looking there i'm looking at a way to get to the top where they knew there were people like me so they made a trail to get to the top but the only problem is it is very high up there so it's switchbacks back and forth so that you get because if you go straight up you die actually almost die going this way ok so i learned something to get to the top you got to push through so i said i told carmi you could at the way down here honey it to the top did you know you quit who has more character the person stuck it out so i have characters you know i have i have now suffering in durance character you know i have no hope you know my hope is i can get to the top so next time i come those waterfalls can i get to the top absolutely i hope i get to the top why so i went through it that's the power when you do what you need to do it gives you hope when you have hope for other things to do so here's what happens i take my friend jeff and we take is the kids over back i'd always come back or go through through well to know my says hey we should go to the falls get the balls as we need to go to the top now we already did a hike before that we camped out for a day and did a long hike and that's what i had say attica problems so at the time i was feeling pretty good after i did that high before the falls i wasn't feeling too good and so out of it is i will start to fill the fact that i probably should have gone on the other hike that we did so we come to and i am looking at all those falls are calling and i wasn't going to go just have jeff go but jeff was bailing out but when you have character you can still hope in others jeff you can do it for sure you can do it i would go with you but you know i don't feel the great i can't do it but you can do it and he was he han around because he knew they were going to be some suffering and then somebody said hey did you know there's two other falls up above i don't really know they said there's three falls past the falls there's the other little falls but then i says i've only seen the falls the mole to know before i got to go where nobody else is go know we've got to get at least a one more in my mind get to least one more means to get to at least two but not telling that ok so we're going and i realize this is not the same what i did this to years ago this is not this is a different falls or something they change that trail to what they did but it's different and i say bots i know that i preach this all the time so i got into or see what i did endured and we got to the top i have a go pro camera and all that stuff and your lot of the other q a video a lot of grumbling and so then we get to now this is where wisdom comes in my body said don't go do the third one that's a different day different time so we can go third one my whole point is because i endured in the past because it built some care to me i could take somebody and help them walk along the path guess what when god has done something in your life you can give hope to somebody else will do their life as we wrap up this look at verse five and hope does not put us to shame listen when you put hope in something god gives you to have hope in god's not going to bear if you god is not going to shame you listen god was going to get at the top of the mountain because god is not going to get me all and then leave me any if i need him my body god's going to heal me is not to leave me hanging it by healing means i die then i spirit that is we have all that we need to be able to do what we need to do i don't care what life throws at you that you can make it through it you know in the midst of us going on this trip i know people take a long trips the twenty two hundred mile trip that we're taking i know a pastor who loves god with all his heart he went up to canada and he took his truck and the transmission went out on his truck in the middle of nowhere no place to live no place to state no place to sleep in the middle of nowhere and by the time i got done a couple a couple thousand one hundred thousand a couple thousand dollars all to me got friends that live one hundred miles away they came and picked him out of there was a miserable trip for him  time with this prince that never had time with so i hear that story and i still my goodness he loved jesus look what happened to him what's going to happen to me is that thing there's nothing a who says that his doubt then that we're going to get there it is going to be a great trip i have faith to believe that you know why i've made many trips that has happened i got some experience behind me i've driven from alaska the here by myself in two and a half days i know something god has given me the strength to be able to do certain things so i have faith because god is done what he's done in the past in my life and he will continue to do it christ lives within be and i believe it to a point that live for you so as we finish what do you have hope in do you have hope in the things of this road or you have hope in jesus everybody in this room to everybody everybody this room has claimed that they know jesus christ our lord and savior i hope your hope is in him in the thing else hope doesn't disappoint but god will
