Love and Justice
We deserved to die as the penalty for sin
12 Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned—
16 Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness?
Ezekiel 18:20 (ESV)
20 The soul who sins shall die. The son shall not suffer for the iniquity of the father, nor the father suffer for the iniquity of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself.
2. We deserved to bear God’s wrath against sin
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth.
Sin Makes you stupid
3. We are separated from God by our sins.
12 remember that you were at that time separated from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world.
you were alianeted and hostile in mind
4. We are in bondage to sin and to the kingdom of Satan
19 We know that we are from God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.
7 For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God’s law; indeed, it cannot.
when we don’t believe this, we say “ people are inhearently good,” and are hurt when they fall back into sinful ways.
Slaves to Sexual Sin, perversion, illness, fear of missing out, death,
6 For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— 8 but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. 10 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. 11 More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
We don’t live in fear of condemnation
Romans 5:12–21 (ESV)
16 And the free gift is not like the result of that one man’s sin. For the judgment following one trespass brought condemnation, but the free gift following many trespasses brought justification.

His Sacrifice was once and for all.

He removed the wrath of God that we deserved
Systematic Theology: An Introduction to Biblical Doctrine (Second Edition) 4. Bearing the Wrath of God
“a sacrifice that turns away the wrath of God—and thereby makes God propitious (or favorable) toward us
10 In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
9 Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God.

Reconciliation
Reconciliation
He overcame our separation form God, and bring us back into fellowship with God
18 All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation.
We have access to the Fruit of the spirit, access to the Love of the Father, the

He redeemed us from the bondage of sin and to Satan
45 For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
13 He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son,
11 So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.
14 For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.

We are Adopted
15 For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!”
You are worth it.

35 But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil.
8 Watch yourselves, so that you may not lose what we have worked for, but may win a full reward.
35 Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward.
14 If the work that anyone has built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward.
Jesus brought us Near
Jesus brought us Near
15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. 16 For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. 17 And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 18 And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent. 19 For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, 20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross. 21 And you, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, 22 he has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before him, 23 if indeed you continue in the faith, stable and steadfast, not shifting from the hope of the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and of which I, Paul, became a minister.
