How Much More
 6 You see, at just the right time,
when we were still powerless, Christ
  died for the ungodly. 7 Very rarely
       will anyone die for a righteous
  person, though for a good person
someone might possibly dare to die.
                      Romans 5:6-7 (NIV)
Galatians 5:19-21 It is obvious what kind of life develops out of trying to get your own way all the time:
  repetitive, loveless, cheap sex; a stinking accumulation of mental and emotional garbage; frenzied and
joyless grabs for happiness; trinket gods; magic-show religion; paranoid loneliness; cutthroat competition;
    all-consuming-yet-never-satisfied wants; a brutal temper; an impotence to love or be loved; divided
    homes and divided lives; small-minded and lopsided pursuits; the vicious habit of depersonalizing
        everyone into a rival; uncontrolled and uncontrollable addictions; ugly parodies of community.
 8 But God demonstrates his own love
for us in this: While we were still sinners,
                        Christ died for us.

                            Romans 5:8 (NIV)
In his very life
and death,
Jesus was
the actual
“enfleshment”
of the living,
Our Suffering
    Our Frailty
  Our Failures
Nailed to the
    9 Since we have now been justified by his
 blood, how much more shall we be saved from
God’s wrath through him! 10For if, while we were
      God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him
 through the death of his Son, how much more,
     having been reconciled, shall we be saved
                                through his life!

                             Romans 5:9-10 (NIV)
