There has always been a great search for meaning and purpose. In today’s culture that search often leads into spirituality and religion, but it doesn’t necessarily mean that people will discover true spiritual life. They only way is to place our faith in the resurrected Christ!
In the book of Romans, Paul encouraged believers to understand the benefits of their new spiritual life in Christ. We can be encouraged by the benefits of our new spiritual life in Christ. What are the benefits of our new spiritual life in Christ that should encourage us? The text gives three benefits of our new spiritual life in Christ.

If we could be reconciled to God, reconciled to others, and even reconciled to ourselves, what joy and peace might that bring into our lives? What if Christ’s death and resurrection, could mean a reconciled life for us?
In the book of Romans, the apostle Paul wrote to the believers in Rome to show them how they might rejoice in the reconciled life they have through Jesus Christ. We too can rejoice in the reconciled life through Christ. Why are we able to rejoice in the reconciled life through Christ? Today’s text gives us three reasons we can rejoice in the reconciled life through Christ.

Who of us wouldn’t say, “I want to have a better life”? But what does that look like? What is the “good life”?
In Paul’s letter to the Romans, he taught them that they had the freedom to choose between sin and death and righteousness and life. We can experience God’s purpose for our lives when we willingly offer ourselves to him. How can we redefine success from what the world tells us the “good life” is? Today’s text gives three ways to live life with Christ’s purpose.

Have you been playing your version of the game of life and realized you were either following the wrong rules or aiming for the wrong goal? You thought more money would make you happy, but it made you hungry for more money. You thought new stuff, a new car, new house, new boat would make you happy, but you still feel empty. You thought a new relationship, a new boyfriend, a new girlfriend, a new love would make you feel like a winner. But you still feel like a loser.
So, how do we get a new view of life? Is there a way of starting over, starting fresh, with a new life? In the book of Romans, the apostle Paul wrote that those who identify with Christ’s death and resurrection might live in newness of life. We can experience this new life by identifying with the death and resurrection of Jesus.
