Romans 5:1-11

Romans 5:1-5
In what ways has God given you hope in spite of suffering?
How are you using the suffering God has brought you through to encourage and strengthen others who are experiencing the same thing?
How are your words and actions toward the lost different because of the hope you have in God?
How is the grace and peace you have with God being exhibited in your life before others?

Romans 5:6-8
How will you express your gratitude to God this week for Christ's death on your behalf?
In what way are the conditions of Christ's death especially meaningful to you? At just the right time. While we were helpless. While we were sinners.
How are you allowing God's example of true love, coupled with the love poured out in your heart, to be shared with your enemies?

Romans 5:9-11
In what way are you still trying to carry the burden of your own sin, not realizing the fullness of Christ's salvation?
Are you living as one who has been justified through Christ's blood, or are you also living as one who is saved through His life?
Who will you talk to this week about this great salvation that only Christ can give? Justification. Peace with God. Reconciliation. Joy in spite of circumstances. Love poured out for you and into you.
