Be saved by his life from wrath of God

Be saved by his life from wrath of God.(Romans 5:9-11)

When I was giving lectures on Romans in 1997, minister working in the Busan area bought about 500 sets of lecture tapes.
Unfortunately, the recording on tape has now been transferred to DVD, but the sound quality is poor.
At that time, during the lecture on Romans, the amazing energy of the Holy Spirit come over the congregation.
It was even delivered to Pastor J of S Church, a representative church in Busan.
After that, I gave lectures in Ulsan, Seoul, Manila, USA, South America, Japan, Saipan, etc.
While listening to the Word, a saint with a bent back was healed and praised the Lord.
Then, for more than 20 years, I did not give a lecture on the entire book of Romans, but I meditated over and over again.
Now I reflected the contents in my breakfast.
I explained the book of Romans in more detail and then I send it out for breakfast every morning, feeling that I should ask those who come and listen to me to happen the salvation of Romans.

Q. When do we need to be saved from wrath?

“Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.” (Romans 5:9)

A. Salvation from death is made currently.
The words spoken by the blood mean in the blood.
Think of blood as receiving a cup of blood with the word of promise.
We must think that we have become one in the blood, that we are one life.
So, by being justified, you are saved from wrath.
It is expressed in this way that we are saved in His blood because through His death we are saved by dying with him and being raised to life again.
We are not saved by the blood shed on the cross, but by participating in the cup of blood that the Lord has given us as a promise, we become one life with the Lord and gain eternal life.
However, we look back in Christ and know that we have received the redemption, the forgiveness of sins, through the blood that the Lord shed on the cross. (Ephesians 1:7)

Q. What does it mean to be reconciled?

“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.” (Rom 5:10)

A. Salvation has a process.
First of all, you need to know that there are two steps to becoming reconciled.
Through the death of the Lord, we are freed from the wrath of the enemy who stands opposite God and are in Christ.
Then there is the salvation of the ever-living Lord Jesus Christ.
There is always the life supply of the living Christ. (1 Corinthians 15:45)
Jesus is the priest of atonement and also the priest of mediation.
Since the priest of atonement died on the cross once for all, he is the priest of atonement who died in our place of death, bearing our curse instead.
And the Lord is still alive and is the priest of mediation who reconciles between God and me.
Can't you see the Lord who is now at the right hand of the throne? (Hebrews 7:25)
Although it is the work accomplished by one Lord, our salvation is the salvation of being delivered from sin and death and the salvation of continuing life in the present.
The half-gospel that shouts 'only Jesus' will believe that sins will be forgiven now and eternal life will be received later.
They even say that Mt. Zion will be entered later.
Calvin said that the Lord Jesus Christ is doing heavenly ministry based on his earthly ministry, and he also said that the Lord is our goal and process.
There are many young people who make fun of Calvin without knowing the bible properly.

Therefore, we must always ponder deeply the words of the Lord, 'I am the resurrection and the life' in the present tense. (John 11:25-26)
Through the resurrection of the Lord, we who were imprisoned in death in Adam were brought back to life, and because the Lord is life, he continues to supply us with that life even now.
Would he say, 'You who eat me will live because of me' without giving life in the present? (John 6:57)
If the Lord were to make breakfast now, He would say, 'Come, children, eat my flesh and drink my blood.'

In John 5, the one who heard the son's voice and came to life feeds on the heavenly bread of life in John 6.
The Bible is written in connection with each other.
Therefore, we can enjoy the salvation that the Lord saves us from wrath and gives life abundantly as he is still alive.
Therefore, Paul says, "If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable." (1 Corinthians 15:19)
Because it is the slave of death.
Many people understand that they are saved from wrath when they come into Christ, but they do not know much about the salvation of the Lord's living life.
So, by death, they are helpless to weakness and disease and are dying.
There is a belief like an ad balloon floating in the air that if you believe in Jesus and go to heaven, no, if the Lord comes again, you will be raptured and come down to the earth again to form the millennial kingdom and reign in it for a thousand years without death, sickness, or tears.
However, since there is nothing now, there are many cases in which the fundamentals of faith are regarded as nothing.So people fall for heresy.

Since Christ is alive right now, if you do not have the blessing of receiving life more abundantly, you will be shaken to the basic roots of your faith.Therefore, you must always count yourself dead to sin through faith and alive to God through Jesus Christ our Lord.(Romans 6:11)As the Word says, 'offer your body and members to God' (Rom. 6:12-13), if you don't continue to receive supply from the Lord by offering yourself to God, even what you thought you had before will be shaken.
You have to be careful with this.

In this word, 'we have become reconciled', we should think that our existence has changed, not just that we have become close to each other.We must believe that God has delivered us from Adam to Christ, from sin to righteousness, and from death to life.This is what it means to be born again.God is the one who first changed our being and reconciled us to Him.That is why he said that he would reconcile both to God after he made both into one body by the cross. (Ephesians 2:16)

In Luke 15, the prodigal son returned. When the son went out, he went as a son, and when he returned, he returned as a servant with a sense of his qualifications.A servant cannot wear shoes, and of course, there is no genealogy written on a ring.He doesn't even wear nice clothes and doesn't dare to sit at his master's table and eat.However, my father said, 'Go take a bath, change your clothes, put on your ring, and put on your shoes'.It refers to a change of identity.After recovering his status, he finally eats the fattened calf at the table with his father.Leaving his son a shabby existence reeking of pig dung  as it is, the father doesn't feed his son.Reconciliation is what I believe in the change of my identity through the death of the cross and life again.Then the Lord feeds.
We eat Lord like a fattened calf.

The father forgives the leper-like prodigal son, bathes him, puts him in good clothes, puts a ring on him, restores him as a son, makes him a first-class gentleman, and feeds him.Jesus Christ died on the cross because of our curse.That was clearly a referee.How terrible God's judgment on sin is revealed in the death of Jesus on the cross.Jesus received all of our curses in six hours.Through him, we are saved from the wrath of God.God's wrath is just as terrible.So, if you do not believe the Son, you shall not see life, but God's wrath remains on you. (John 3:36)The wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23), but how many people claim to believe in Jesus at before the cross, but still embrace death at the place of sin and are under the wrath of God...

Because the Lord Jesus Christ suffered the curse on the cross for us,
the Bible says that we are freed from the wrath of sin.
God poured out everything to bring us out of wrath into Christ,and then there be no more abundant blessings after he has transferred us?
Of course there is.
Eternal life is not that plain and flat.
The gist of what the Bible says is that eternal life after death, heaven after death is not this.

Even when there was no event of the cross of the Lord, David looked at the Messiah to come and sang, “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall want.” (Psalm 23:1)
David had already believed that, and after displaying the tremendous event of the cross to us, completely dealing with God's wrath and bringing us from death to life, would he say that everything will be fulfilled in the future without anything?
Is it all about forgiving our sins and making everything clean, then giving us nothing and being patient until we get to heaven?
Would this be salvation?
The apostle Paul clearly states that the forgiveness of sins is not everything.
Why would God spare the riches of the living life of Jesus Christ to his children who are in a restored state in Christ?

However, the bible says that gifts are given to us with the Son. (Rom. 8:32)
The gift given when we are with the Son is the very life of Christ.
The gift of God in Jesus Christ is his very life (Romans 6:23).
The promise God wants to give us is eternal life. (1 John 2:25)
Do not take this eternal life lightly.
It is God's covenant and gift given by believing in the promise, and it is eternal life.

Q. After being reconciled to God, what other blessings are there?

“And not only so, we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.” (Romans 5:11)

A. It is to rejoice in God.
Nehemiah said that the joy of the Lord is your strength. (Nehemiah 8:10)
Also, isn't the first thing in the shorter catechism to glorify God and enjoy him forever?
Therefore, those who do not have joy in Christ have a wrong faith or do not wish for blessings in Christ, but believe in and seek what the Gentiles want, so they will be filled with complaints that God is considered unfair.
That's why people who don't have joy can't eval‎uate it well.
God completely restores the blessings of Christians who go on the path of strangers as pilgrims toward heaven in Christ.
In Christ, God restores the blessings of God that he determined in Genesis 1.
In Genesis 1, light and darkness, day and night,
waters above the firmament and waters under the firmament, earth and sea,
Big light and little light, day light, night light
Birds of the air and creatures of the sea, beasts and man
All the waters of the earth gather in one place to become the sea, and we all drifted into it.
There we were saved by the miraculous power of Christ's death and resurrection, then came up to earth, where we received the word coming down from the new heavens and have eternal life.
And if you climb up the ladder of the word, you go up to God.
This is what we call the end of faith. (1 Peter 1:9)

Ephesians 4:7-10.
“But unto every one of us given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ; wherefore he said, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts to men. Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.”
It is saying that Christ came down, embraced the elect within him, and ascended again.
And He gave the gift, and He who through Him fills all things, He fills with His life.
I hope that those who have ears will hear and keep, so that the salvation of Romans will be fulfilled and there will be joy with the fullness of life.
