We have in this passage Three reasons to EXULT…{present tense}…{Romans 5:2,4,11}. The word “Exult” {“kauchaomai”} means, A CONFIDENT BOAST, “A Triumphant Confident Rejoicing,” Glory, Joyfully Confident. To take pride in something. Not sinful pride, but a Boasting, glorying over a Privilege or possession. It can mean great joy, to take great delight in. It combines the idea of confidence and jubilation, “joyful confidence” is what sums it up! It refers to Great confident Rejoicing... It carries the idea of what is felt. It is not just refraining from complaining in difficulties but finding reason and joyfully, confidently, boasting, glorying, exulting. It is a verb…keep doing this…as the pattern of your life. Truth is the foundation, your relationship with God gives you reason to confidently joyfully, exult! Consider these reasons for “THREE CHEERS…”
1. EXULTING IN FUTURE GLORY
“Christ has brought us into this place of undeserved privilege where we now stand, and we {EXULT, BOAST} confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God’s glory.”-{V2 NLT}
2. EXULTING BECAUSE OF WHAT SUFFERINGS PRODUCE
“We can {EXULT, BOAST} rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation.”-{Rom 5:3-4 NLT}
