Romans 5:1 Justification - being saved. Santification - holiness You may not be in heaven yet, but you are in kingdom of God. As God's child, You have all the resources of heaven at your disposal. 1 John 3:9 When the seed of God is in you; you are no longer a sinner.  When you are saved, in God's eyes you are no longer a sinner.   God now wants to sanctify you. Romans 5:1 - we have peace with God because we are right with God.  Because of what God is doing in our life.  Our justification comes through our faith in Jesus Christ.   God sees us a someone worthwhile for God to invest His time in. Each of us should use the gifts God has given us to build, not tear down.  To do worthwhile work and edify the Church. Galations 2:16 - Galations was written because people came along and said Christians had to keep the Law and they became confused.  Law shows us our shortcomings; but cannot save us. The Law is not done away with; but we can only live with God's help. Galatio
