THE LIFE HE LIVED AND IS NOW LIVING

Romans 5:8-10 (KJV)

“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.  For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.”

Reconciled to God by His death; Justified by His blood, and we shall be saved by His life. The life Jesus lived and the life He possess’ presently is as important as the death He died. The life Jesus lived and the life the Father returned to Him in the resurrection saves us.

His death and His blood established “initial salvation.” In other words, this begins the process of deliverance, healing, and wholeness and it is by His life that this process works in succession.  Therefore, with His life we encounter salvation on a broader level.

Jesus telling us those who endure to the “end” will be saved, gives us the broader sense to salvation (Matthew 10:22). Salvation is much broader than being reconciled, justified, and forgiven. Forgiveness of sin opens the door to the ongoing salvation we encounter daily by His life; of which includes sanctification and the daily walk with the Holy Spirit teaching us Jesus (the life He lived and is now living,) which is inexhaustible.

His life is not stagnate, stale, or some memory stuck on a shelf we can pull out as vindication when we do wrong. His life is dynamic, ever moving, flowing, and creating newness. Daily, His life brings deliverance, healing, and wholeness.

His death and His blood lift’s the wrath of God from us and bring us into family status with our Heavenly Father so we can encounter such a great salvation by His life.
