Romans 5:9-11

9 And since we have been made right in God's sight by the blood of Christ, he will certainly save us from God's judgment. 10 For since we were restored to friendship with God by the death of his Son while we were still his enemies, we will certainly be delivered from eternal punishment by his life. 11 So now we can rejoice in our wonderful new relationship with God — all because of what our Lord Jesus Christ has done for us in making us friends of God. (NLT)

 

“We have been made right in God’s sight.” – We can rejoice in this that by the blood of Jesus Christ and His death God has paid our debt and we are made right with Him.

“We have been restored to friendship with God.” – God through His grace and mercy has brought us back into friendship with Him.  As Adam was in a friendship with God before he sinned, through Christ we now have that friendship with God.

“We have been delivered from eternal punishment.” – Through faith in the finished work of Christ on the cross, confessing to be sinners, asking for forgiveness, believing in Christ and asking Him into our lives He frees us from eternal punishment.

“We can rejoice in our wonderful new relationship.” – In our new and wonderful relationship with God we can rejoice and praise and glorify our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for all that He has accomplished on the cross and in our lives.
