Rom. 5:1‑10• 1Therefore having been justified on the principle of faith, we have peace towards God through our Lord Jesus Christ;
 2by whom we have also access by faith into this favour in which we stand, and we boast in hope of the glory of God.
 3And not only that, but we also boast in tribulations, knowing that tribulation works endurance;
 4and endurance, experience; and experience, hope;
 5and hope does not make ashamed, because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit which has been given to us:
 6for we being still without strength, in the due time Christ has died for the ungodly.
 7For scarcely for the just man will one die, for perhaps for the good man some one might also dare to die;
 8but God commends *his* love to us, in that, we being still sinners, Christ has died for us.
 9Much rather therefore, having been now justified in the power of his blood, we shall be saved by him from wrath.
 10For if, being enemies, we have been reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much rather, having been reconciled, we shall be saved in the power of his life. (Rom. 5:1‑10)
• The Bride. (Ch. 8:10-12). (“Canticle 6: The Triumph of Love” by H. Smith)
• By grace the bride can say, "I am a wall." Established in her relationships to the Bridegroom, her affection is the secret of her strength and the measure of her witness before others. A tower is a place of security as well as a landmark to others. The saint whose affections are drawn out to Christ is one indeed who has found peace in the eyes of Christ. (“Canticle 6: The Triumph of Love” by H. Smith)
