God Does The Saving – Humans Do The Exercising
May 29, 2022
Romans 5:1-11 / Common English Bible
Therefore, we have peace with God
5 Therefore, since we have been made righteous through his faithfulness,[a] we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 We have access by faith into this grace in which we stand through him, and we boast in the hope of God’s glory. 3 But not only that! We even take pride in our problems because we know that trouble produces endurance, 4 endurance produces character, and character produces hope. 5 This hope doesn’t put us to shame, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.
6 While we were still weak, at the right moment, Christ died for ungodly people. 7 It isn’t often that someone will die for a righteous person, though maybe someone might dare to die for a good person. 8 But God shows his love for us, because while we were still sinners Christ died for us. 9 So, now that we have been made righteous by his blood, we can be even more certain that we will be saved from God’s wrath through him. 10 If we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son while we were still enemies, now that we have been reconciled, how much more certain is it that we will be saved by his life? 11 And not only that: we even take pride in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, the one through whom we now have a restored relationship with God.

Hello Kingdom Family,
Welcome to our message series, “Romans: I Am Not Ashamed of the Gospel.” Today’s message is titled “God Does The Saving – Humans Do The Exercising. “We will unpack Romans 5:1-11 and tackle these four questions:
1. Are you saved?
2. How sure are you that you’ve been saved?
3. Pre-supposing you are saved, for what purpose were you saved?
4. What does it mean to live a Jesus-centered life?
