Saved By His Life - Romans 5:9-11

Romans 5:9-11 ESV 

Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. For 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. More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.

Our salvation has two components which bring us into the life of God. The death of Christ opens the door to the light of God. We are no longer doomed to remain in the darkness of our earth. God has brought light into creation and the light shines for all the world to see. The light shines on each person. We only need to look up. 

Free from the tyranny of death, we can enter the salvation of His life. Reconciliation opens the door to salvation. Salvation brings us to God. The foundation of our new life is in His light. 

Rejoice, for the kingdom of heaven is near and has now arrived. It was established from the beginning.
