Here is a clear transition from the external status, standing of legal righteousness under the Law, to regenerative change within the soul:

Made righteous (v.1) Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. . Hence restoration from the Fall as is evident by the gift of the Holy Spirit. (v. 5) And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our heart by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. . And peace with God. (v.1) We have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. . Standing grace, this grace (v.2) By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. . Note that this grace is enablement to rejoice in tribulation (v.3) And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; . As well as in hope of glory (v.2). And rejoice in hope of the glory of God. . Standing grace in that in which tribulation cannot destroy us, but rather develops us:

A. It produces ENDURANCE (v.4)

B. It produces PROOF (v.4) tried approved;

C. It produces HOPE (v. 5)

D. It produces evidence that this is not legal righteousness shows the Holy Spirit as having been given to us as an abiding PRESENCE (v.5)

Not temporary as under the Law.

Accordingly, the believer is necessarily MADE RIGHTEOUS by the Power of God, a state of being far superior to all legal RIGHTEOUSNESS, IMPUTATION, DECLARATION, POSITIONAL, ETC.

This is that righteousness grounded in the shed blood of Christ

(v. 9) Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

Not a levitical animal.

RECONCILIATION is a state in actual righteousness.

A righteous God cannot be reconciled to the SIN/SINNER that necessitated reconciliation in the first place.

(v.10) For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death, of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

Romans 5:1

THEREFORE: Therefore surveys the previous inadequacies of the Law.

Sin could not be removed

( Hebrews 10:4, 11) For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.

(v.11) And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:

Man could be legally justified ( Romans 2:13) ( For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.

But not made righteous ( Romans 3:20) Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

Therefore, thus declares restoration through “ATONEMENT by His blood, through faith.”

Thus legal righteousness through the blood of the Levitical animal must give way to that regenerative change grounded in the power of HIS BLOOD.

Hence, a new creation, having been MADE RIGHTEOUS!

HAVING BEEN MADE RIGHTEOUS:

In Paul’s usage (dikaioo) is his term for the new creation in Christ; that host of the redeemed who are no longer under the Law, nor in the fallen state of Adam.

But they are a new creation in Christ. In pagan literature, and the LXX, (dikaioo) is used in the sence to declare just, right; to justify, to acquit, etc.

Reformation and Calvinistic thinkers use this lofty term in the same sub-Christian sense.

In their unbelief that Christ’s blood removes sin in the here and now, they contend for sin in the Christian until after death.

His blood is thus made common with that of the Levitical animal if sin is not removed now.

Note that whether a person or a tabernacle, for the presence of the Holy Spirit, cleansing must be either from sin or ceremonial

(v.5) And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

Peace with God: This peace is of an internal nature and cannot be derived from any earthly provision, nor can it be taken away by any temporal circumstance.

It is the result of becoming a new creation in Christ; It is a tranquility in the soul in which all is well apart from outward circumstances.
