Forgiveness Only through Christ

Romans 5:6-11

The greatness of God’s love for us is demonstrated by the fact that “Christ died for the ungodly” (Rom. 5:6). He gave His life for those who are not even worthy of His attention. Yet, because of Jesus’ saving death “for us” (v.8) we do not have to fear condemnation at the final judgment, God has already announced the final verdict ahead of time- we are “justified” (declared righteous v.9). Our reconciliation with God (v,10) causes us to rejoice, confident that He will now love and care for us as His own children. 

Questions for further thought:
1. In what ways have you been “ungodly”? 
2. Now, how do you react and respond to Christ knowing He died for you and me anyway?

Challenge: Keep an open eye for those you come in contact with that might be ripe to hear the Good News of Christ’s forgiveness available through faith for all sinners.
