He Lives for me!
Romans 5:8-11 (NASB)
8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
9 Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him.
10 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.
11 And not only this, but we also exult in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.
++++++++++++++++
Because of Jesus' death on the cross, we who trust Him have been forgiven from our sins. Because of His resurrection we can live. The cross and the empty tomb form the foundation of the Christian life.
In His death we are forgiven. In His life we have the power to live. Paul said that the life he lived was really the risen Christ living in Him.
We too can experience this life because of God's love, mercy, and grace.
Happy celebration!
