- we shouldnt keep sinning even though God shows us mercy
- since sin is no more why do we continue to live in it?
- when Jesus died we died
- when he was brought to life again so were we

Romans 5: Peace with God Through Faith pt 2-3 (ESV)
6For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. 7For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— 8but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.9Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. 10For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. 11More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
- Christ died for us when at our weakest state
- he died for those who were ungodly
- like in reality who would really die for another for a reason many people dont believe in? there is the occasional yes but I dont really think alot of people would. this is really what makes God amazing.
- yet we are unrighteous and unholy and he saves us any way
- God still shows love to us even though we still sin
- because of Christs blood we were able to be reunited in our relationship with God.
- we are saved by his blood
- we pay no price Gods love is that amazing.

Romans 5: Death Through Adam, Life Through Christ pt 1
- Death comes from sin
- Because we are all sinners death is upon us
- Before there was any law sin was here
- sin is not taken into account when there is no law
- Death was reigned from Adams time to moses
- even though no one had broken any laws refers to 1Cor15:45 The resurrection of the dead
- the one who was to come was a life-giving spirit
- so Through Adam there is death
- since Jesus was born into this world he became the second( the last) part of him... the life giving spirit
- so through Christ there is life

Romans 5: Peace and Joy part 3
- Justification(act of god making a sinner righteous before him) of our sins could not be paid through money of deeds...but it cost blood
- crazy... I'm not a parent but that must be the worst thing imaginable.
- Jesus's death reunited us with God
- His death also saved us from eternal doom and Gods all powerful wrath
- Because Jesus reunited or relationship with God we are saved.
- Jesus not only allows us to be good with God but because of him we able to rejoice and love him.
- now that I think about it if our relationship wasn't mended it would be hard rejoicing.
so through faith we are saved, Gods love is amazing and because of our savior we are saved.

Romans 5: Peace and Joy part 2
6You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. 7Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. 8But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
we truely are undeserving of his love. When we were nothing Christ gave his life to save us. so many times we forget that this life was set free by he who paid the ultimate price. Gods love is truly amazing

Romans 4: Abraham justified by faith pt 2.
18Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, "So shall your offspring be." 19Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead—since he was about a hundred years old—and that Sarah's womb was also dead. 20Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, 21being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised. 22This is why "it was credited to him as righteousness." 23The words "it was credited to him" were written not for him alone,24but also for us, to whom God will credit righteousness—for us who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead. 25He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification.
- Abraham's faith was so strong when all things seemed impossible
- even when everything seemed so impossible he continued to grow and give glory to god
- being righteous is having faith in God
- Jesus paid for our sins and was raised for our justification
- justification: Gods act of declaring or making a sinner righteous before him.
