D.Chair and Professor, Department of Biblical and Religious Studies at Samford UniversityTHE GREATEST GIFTRomans 5:6–11, 18–21We receive the gift of God’s love, which is demonstrated by the death of Christ. Paul is emphasizing the radical nature of God’s love for His lost and broken creation — you and me. (9–11)However, Paul is not simply trying to make a point about how radical God’s love is. Glorification refers to the end goal of salvation, namely living as righteous, resurrected followers of God in a new creation. And as Paul argued above, it will lead to their glorification and eternal life.
