TEXT:Romans 4:25 (TPT), | Romans 5:1 (TPT)

KEY VERSE: Romans 5:1 (TPT): “Our faith in Jesus transfers God’s to us and he now declares us flawless in his eyes. This means
righteousness we can now enjoy true and lasting peace with God, all because of what our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One, has done for us.”

INTRODUCTION: While the forgiveness of sins is a profound aspect of Christ’s work, His redemption goes beyond mere forgiveness. Through His death and
resurrection, we are not just forgiven sinners but justified saints, heirs of God’s glorious inheritance. This study will explore the transformative power of Christ’s redemption in our lives.
