(Romans 5:10) For if we, being enemies, were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more we will be saved in His life, having been reconciled.

Verse 10 of this chapter points out that God's full salvation revealed in this book consists of two sections: One section is the redemption accomplished for us by Christ's death, and the other section is the saving afforded us by Christ's life. The first four chapters of this book discourse comprehensively regarding the redemption accomplished by Christ's death, whereas the last rwelve chapters speak in detail concerning the saving afforded by Christ's life. Before 5:11, Paul shows us that we are saved because we have been redeemed, justified, and reconciled to God. However, we have not yet been saved to the extent of being sanctified, transformed, and conformed to the image of God's Son. Redemption, justification, and reconciliation, which are accomplished outside of us by the death of Christ, redeem us objectively; sanctification, transformation, and conformation, which are accomplished within us by the working fo Christ's life, save us subjectively.
Objective redemption redeems us positionally from condemnation and eternal punishment; subjective salvation saves us dispositionally from our old man, our self, and our natural life.
Being reconciled to God through Christ's death is an accomplished matter, but being saved in His life from so many negative things unto glorification is a daily matter.
To be saved in Christ's life is to be saved in Christ Himself as life. He dwells in us, and we are organically one with HIm. By the growth of His life in us, we will enjoy His full salvation to the uttermost.
Redemption, justification, and reconciliation are for the purpose of bringing us into union with Christ so that He cen save us in His life unto glorification (8:30). After death is spoken of in the first part of this verse, life is mentioned. Christ died that He might be our life in resurrectionn. We have been saved by Christ's death from God's eternal judgment and eternal punishment, but we are still being saved by Christ's life in His resurrection. The life here, the power in 1:16, and the Spirit in chapter 8 refer to different aspects ofthe processed Triune God. In verse 11 to boast in God means to have God as our boast and our exultation, indicating that God is our enjoyment and our rejoicing. It is in boasting, in exulting, and in enjoying in this way that we are being seved in the life of Christ.

Hi there!

The removal of the Curse of Adam and Eve, as described in Romans 5 . . . are you able to work the lifting of this Curse into your writings?

Colossians 2:9-15 gives us remarkable insight as to the Holy Work of Jesus Christ. Check it out!

Colossians 2:11-15 NIV - "In him you were also circumcised with a circumcision not performed by human hands. Your whole self ruled by the flesh was put off when you were circumcised by Christ, 12 having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through your faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead. 13 When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, 14 having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross. 15 And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross."

Of course, Abraham is the Father of Spiritual Circumcision, for he received this specific Circumcision before he was physically Circumcised. In fact, the physical circumcision he received was after his Spiritual Circumcision.

Romans 4:9-12 NIV - "Is this blessedness only for the circumcised, or also for the uncircumcised? We have been saying that Abraham's faith was credited to him as righteousness. 10 Under what circumstances was it credited? Was it after he was circumcised, or before? It was not after, but before! 11 And he received circumcision as a sign, a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised. So then, he is the father of all who believe but have not been circumcised, in order that righteousness might be credited to them. 12 And he is then also the father of the circumcised who not only are circumcised but who also follow in the footsteps of the faith that our father Abraham had before he was circumcised."

Physical Circumcision represents the EXACT same thing as does water baptism, the sign of True Faith having been issued by and through the exclusive Operation of Christ.

Who ever knew that Circumcision was the Fulcrum of the entire Bible? Unbelievable . . .

we only have life in Christ thru baptism
Thru baptism we are in covenant communion united to the mediator with grace


1 Corinthians 12:13
For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.

Galatians 3:27
For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
