Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God.
All our privileges flow from Christ's precious blood; His death for us is the spring-head of justification. He died for those without strength, entirely unable to help themselves, and worse still, for the ungodly, not merely helpless but guilty, deserving to perish, yet loved with a love that surpasses all human measure.

Commenting on Romans 5:6-21
Much more then being now justified by his blood,.... The apostle here argues from justification by Christ to salvation by him, there being a certain and inseparable connection between these two; whoever is justified shall be saved; and speaks of justification "as being now by his blood".
Verse 9. Much more then. It is much more reasonable to expect it. There are fewer obstacles in the way. If, when we were enemies, he overcame all that was in the way of our salvation, much more have we reason to expect that he will afford us protection now that we are his friends. This is one ground of the hope expressed in . Being now justified.
