Romans 5:10 10 For if we, being enemies, were 1areconciled to God through the death of His Son, 2much more we will be 3saved 4in His 5blife, having been reconciled, 102 Verse 10 of this chapter points out that Gods full salvation revealed in this book consists of two sections: one section is the redemption accomplished for us by Christs death, and the other section is the saving afforded us by Christs life. The first four chapters of this book discourse comprehensively regarding the redemption accomplished by Christs death, whereas the last twelve chapters speak in detail concerning the saving afforded by Christs life. Before 5:11, Paul shows us that we are saved because we have been redeemed, justified, and reconciled to God. However, we have not yet been saved to the extent of being sanctified, transformed, and conformed to the image of Gods Son. Redemption, justification, and reconciliation, which are accomplished outside of us by the death of Christ, redeem us objectively; sanctification, transformation, and conformation, which are accomplished within us by the working of Christs life, save us subjectively. Objective redemption redeems us positionally from condemnation and eternal punishment; subjective salvation saves us dispositionally from our old man, our self, and our natural life.
