       Finishing up our text for today. Verse 9: “Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation” (Romans 5:9-11, ESV). For those who are always looking for another verse to add to your eternal security list, be sure not to miss this one. Notice how Paul used the past tense of the word ‘justify.’ He said, “we have now been justified.” So, our justification, as he previously argued, has already taken place from the moment we believed. That’s tremendously encouraging. So, if we have been justified already, then it only makes sense that because we are counted as not guilty for all accounts of sin, then we will be saved by Jesus from any of God’s wrath to come.
