Our current state (part 2)

Romans 5:18-19
Therefore, as through one man's offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation,even so through one Man's righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life. For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man's obedience many will be made righteous.

We must really thank God for what Jesus did... His obedience and righteous act bring as from a state of condemnation to a state of righteousness. His obedience, His righteous act.... Wat love it is we have from our Father God... It says that the goodness of God leads us to repentance...

Romans 5:6,8-10
For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. For if when 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.

Wat a profound statement.... justified by His blood... saved from wrath.... reconciled by the death and much more will be saved by His life.... wow...wow... wow....

Thank You Lord.. for Your kindness and love toward us.....

Romans 5:17
For if by one man's offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.

Thank You Lord, that You came to set us free from sin and help us reign in life in all areas as the verse says... reign in life by His grace and gift of righteousness......

Romans 6:4b
even so we shall also walk in the newness of life.

Romans 6:6
knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin

Romans 6:14
For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.

Romans 6:17
But God be thanked that though you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine to which you were delivered.

Thank God that we can walk in newness of life... that our old man was crucified on the cross.. that we can believe in Jesus and be delivered from our flesh and walked in newness of life... and walk under God's grace in faith and flow in life of God....
