Romans 5:9 teaches we are saved from wrath through whom?

• A. We are saved by our own righteousness.
• B. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
• C. Salvation comes through keeping the law.
• D. We will be saved from wrath by faith in ourselves.

Answer: (B)

The main idea being tested is that salvation from God’s wrath comes through Jesus Christ, anchored in his atoning death. Romans 5:9 shows that believers are justified by his blood, and because of that justification, we are saved from wrath through him. The blood of Christ represents the atoning sacrifice that satisfies divine justice and removes the penalty of sin, making us righteous before God. The phrase “through him” identifies Jesus Christ as the active agent of this deliverance—the means by which condemnation is turned into salvation.

This fits Paul’s broader argument in Romans that justification is by faith in Christ, not by our own works or by keeping the law. It’s not about our own righteousness, and it’s not about trusting in ourselves. The other ideas miss the point that the source and instrument of salvation is Christ alone, whose blood accomplishes what we could never achieve by effort or merit.
