New Beginnings<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n

Romans 5:6-11<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

WE ARE SAVED BY GRACE<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Romans 5:6-8 (ESV)
\n<\/strong>6 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.
\n7 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0For one will scarcely die for a righteous person\u201d\u201dthough perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die\u201d\u201d
\n8 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0but God shows his love for us in that while<\/strong><\/em> we were still sinners<\/strong><\/em>, Christ died for us.<\/p>\n

Ephesians 2:1-3 (ESV)
\n<\/strong>1 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0And you were dead in the trespasses and sins
\n2 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience\u201d\u201d
\n3 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

WE ARE KEPT BY GRACE<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Romans 5:9 (ESV)
\n<\/strong>9 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall<\/strong><\/em> we be saved<\/strong> <\/em>by him from the wrath of God.<\/p>\n

1 Thessalonians 5:9 (ESV)
\n<\/strong>9 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0For God has not destined us for wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,<\/p>\n

Romans 5:10 (ESV)
\n<\/strong>10 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0For 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<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

Romans 8:1 (ESV)
\n<\/strong>1 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Hebrews 7:23-25 (ESV)
\n<\/strong>23 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0The former priests were many in number, because they were prevented by death from continuing in office,
\n24 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0but he holds his priesthood permanently, because he continues forever.
\n25 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them.<\/p>\n

Romans 5:11 (ESV)
\n<\/strong>11 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0More than that, we also rejoice in God<\/strong> <\/em>through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.<\/p>\n

Psalm 16:11 (ESV)
\n<\/strong>11 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy;<\/span> at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hebrews 13:15 (ESV)
\n<\/strong>15 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Through him then let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that acknowledge his name.<\/p>\n

2 Corinthians 7:10 (ESV)
\n<\/strong>10 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0For godly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation without regret, whereas worldly grief produces death.<\/p>\n

1 John 1:7-9 (ESV)
\n<\/strong>7 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.
\n8 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
\n9 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.<\/p>\n

Romans 5:1-2 (ESV)
\n<\/strong>1 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
\n2 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. <\/span><\/p>\n
