Romans 5:1-11

Thoughts:            We haven’t completely forgiven the person who hurt our feelings, but the love of God is shed abroad in our heart.
 
We haven’t read the Bible daily, but we are justified by faith.            
 
We missed church twice last month, but while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
 
Discussion:          What do we understand from the promise in verse 9, that we shall be saved from wrath?
 
Activity:               Share your joy in God with your church family.
