11

• Justified
• Therefore, since we have been justified through
  faith, we have peace with God through our Lord
  Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access
  by faith into this grace in which we now stand.
  Romans 51-2
• Since we have now been justified by his blood,
  how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath
  through him! Romans 59
• Reconciled
• For if, when we were God's enemies, we were
  reconciled to him through the death of his Son,
  how much more, having been reconciled, shall we
  be saved through his life! Romans 510

Peace with God He came and preached peace to you
who were far away and peace to those who were
near. For through him we both have access to the
Father by one Spirit. Ephesians 217-18 Reckoned
Righteousness It is because of him that you are
in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom
from God--that is, our righteousness, holiness
and redemption. 1 Corinthians 130 God made him
who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him
we might become the righteousness of God. 2
Corinthians 521 and be found in him, not having
a righteousness of my own that comes from the
law, but that which is through faith in
Christ--the righteousness that comes from God and
is by faith. Philippians 39
13

• Not yet Righteous
• Not that I have already obtained all this, or
  have already been made perfect, but I press on to
  take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took
  hold of me. Philippians 312

14

• What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning,
  so that grace may increase? By no means! We died
  to sin how can we live in it any longer? Romans
  61-2
• For we know that our old self was crucified with
  him so that the body of sin might be done away
  with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin
  because anyone who has died has been freed from
  sin. Romans 66-7
• You have been set free from sin and have become
  slaves to righteousness. Romans 618

15
Freedom love service to others, BUT Freedom
love licence (slavery to sin)
16

• faith expressing itself through love.

17

• Galatians 513-14
• You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do
  not use your freedom to indulge the sinful
  nature rather, serve one another in love. The
  entire law is summed up in a single command
  "Love your neighbour as yourself."

18

• So in everything, do to others what you would
  have them do to you,
• Matthew 712
• "The most important one," answered Jesus, "is
  this Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord
  is one. Love the Lord your God with all your
  heart and with all your soul and with all your
  mind and with all your strength. The second is
  this Love your neighbour as yourself. There is
  no commandment greater than these."
• Mark 1229-31
