Romans 5:6-11: Trading Places

Jesus, didn't just come in order to live among us, nor did it end with the cross, because the death is the real enemy-not sin. Jesus was raised from the dead to conquer death and to make a way for us to live, because goodness isn't the answer–holiness is.

So roll up your sleeves, put your mind in gear, be totally ready to receive the gift that’s coming when Jesus arrives. Don’t lazily slip back into those old grooves of evil, doing just what you feel like doing. You didn’t know any better then; you do now. As obedient children, let yourselves be pulled into a way of life shaped by God’s life, a life energetic and blazing with holiness. God said, “I am holy; you be holy. [1 Peter 1:13-16]
