Summary
Paul demonstrates that justified believers cannot lose their salvation by contrasting who we were—helpless, ungodly sinners—with who we are now: legally justified and relationally reconciled to God. Since God proved his love by dying for us as enemies, he will certainly keep us secure as his children.
Highlights
God didn't pursue the beautiful. He pursued the broken. He didn't pursue the good. He pursued the guilty. He pursued the ungodly.
If God showed his love for you while you were his enemy, how much more will his love keep you now that you are his child?
You're loved. That's it. So you're free to live. What peace can do for you is free you up to perform.
