1 | An Introduction to God! | Rom 5:2 | Morant61 | 167399 | ||
Leon Morris has some wonderful things to say about Rom. 5:2: "Through Christ we approach God. Most translations speak of our having access, but the noun seems rather to mean 'introduction'. 'The idea is that of introduction to the presence-chamber of a monarch. The rendering 'access' is inadequate, as it leaves out of sight the fact that we do not come in our own strength but need an 'introducer' - Christ' (SH). The stress is on Christ's activity, not ours. The verb is in the perfect tense, which points to the ongoing result of a past act. Christ's bringing us to God has continuing effects (which may be why so many translations favor 'access')."
