So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.

“Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.”—For through the law I died to the law, so that I might live to God. I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

“Because I live, you also will live.”—“I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand. I and the Father are one.”

If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God…. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

God… gives generously to all without reproach.

“Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?” She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you; go, and from now on sin no more.”

The grace of God and the free gift by the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for many… the free gift following many trespasses brought justification.

But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?

John 8:10–11(Listen)

10 Jesus stood up and said to her,“Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”11 She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said,“Neither do I condemn you; go, and from now on sin no more.”]]

Romans 5:15–16(Listen)

15 But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if many died through one man’s trespass, much more have the grace of God and the free gift by the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for many.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.

(ESV)

32 He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?

(ESV)

James 1:5(Listen)

5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.
