In our verse-by-verse study of Romans last time we were in Rom 5:2; at the phrase "by faith into this grace." This phrase starts with the instrumental singular from "pistis" (faith) instructing us regarding the only way of salvation.
Faith is the non-meritorious system of perception; Jesus Christ, the object of faith, has all of the merit.
It is the Lord Jesus Christ in whom we believe for salvation. With that salvation comes permanent irrevocable access into the presence of God and that access is the basis of our security.
Plus the prepositional phrase "eis" (into) plus the accusative singular of "charis" (grace)"into grace," or "into this grace" because there is another factor.
"in which we stand" provides us with the final explanation of our security, "en" (in) plus the locative of the relative pronoun "hos" (which) plus the perfect active indicative of the verb "histemi" (stand).
This explains that our security with God is both temporal and eternal because the perfect tense indicates that we stand in the past with the result that we keep on standing forever.
The active voice: the believer produces the action of having perfect security. The declarative mood is for a dogmatic statement of fact that we stand in the past with the result that we keep on standing forever.
"and exult in the hope of the glory of God" the conjunctive "kai" (and) is used here to introduce a result that comes from our position." Plus the present middle subjunctive of the verb "kauxaomai" (boast).
This is a deponent verb that means to boast, to glory, to pride or to brag about one's privileges because of our association with a person, a thing, or an organization.
It means to have esprit décor that involves enthusiasm and devotion or honor and respect for a group, or a person. In this case the group is the Trinity. Esprit décor also means a common spirit that pervades the members of a group.
Members of God's royal family who comprise the church are related to the Trinity through Jesus Christ and therefore share the esprit of the Trinity.
Because of the eternal security that God gives us at the moment of salvation we are expected to develop certain attitudes in the Christian life. When you know you have security it should change your thinking. To know without any doubt that you have security eliminates uncertainty regarding our relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ, God, and our spiritual life.
We never have a fear of failure or ever fear that we can lose our salvation
"so we exult." The present tense is a perfective present, so it denotes the continuation of existing results. This exulting confidence, bragging or esprit decor began in the past with our understanding of God's integrity and our comprehension of eternal security has resulted, and is now emphasized as our present viewpoint.
The middle voice is an indirect middle that emphasizes the mature believer as the agent who is producing the action. The active voice is also possible here because it is a deponent verb that stresses the action.
So we have a believer who because of his understanding of eternal security knows that he has a permanent irrevocable relationship with God's integrity and this understanding results in his development of esprit décor and brags about having that privilege.
This doctrinal viewpoint resident in the soul is absolutely necessary for the advance to spiritual maturity. The subjunctive mood is hortatory so the apostle Paul is exhorting other believers who are members of God's royal family to join with him with confident expectation.
He invites all believers to participate with him in an attitude that only comes from metabolized Bible doctrine in their thinking, an attitude that is described as having esprit décor regarding the privileges of their irrevocable membership in God's royal family from their union with Jesus Christ.
Next is a prepositional phrase, "epi" (in) plus the locative from "elpis" (hope or confidence) "in hope." This hope is the prospect or an expectation that is related to God's integrity. In effect, hope is related to God's immutability and God irrevocable promises so this develops into absolute confident expectation of more grace from God.
It means to boast in hope and to glory in hope, it the first stage of occupation with the person of Christ where God's integrity comes into vivid focus. The believer's temporal and eternal security from God's integrity provides all the logistical support necessary to advance to spiritual maturity.
The result of the security of logistical grace is the advance to spiritual maturity where the believer has esprit décor in the hope of the glory because of the God's integrity.
