Key Verses:

Romans 5:6-11 – “For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will hardly die for a righteous man; though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die. God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. And not only this, but we also exult in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation..”

Quotes:

“At the right time, Christ did what we couldn’t—He justified us with His blood and reconciled us to God. But much more than that, we are saved by His life.”

“Without His life, the blood is almost meaningless. The blood took care of the sin problem, but it’s His life that allows us to truly live in Him.”

“It’s not just about being forgiven; it’s about having the life of Christ living in us daily, giving us the power to meet our needs and fulfill our purpose in Him.”
