Introduction: The implications of justification by grace through faith are now drawn out.
The transition from wrath (1:18) to grace (3:21) transforms both the status and the experience of the believer.

instead of suffering as judgment (2:5, 6), there is joy in tribulation because of what God produces through it (5:3);

6–8) and joy in Him (v.
11).

Joy in anticipating God's glory (2b)
