    2. Jesus had to deal with our sin debts & sin-enslavement.

    1. If you will, for God’s children, every day is [Heavenly] Father’s Day.
    2. God’s children hold title to their portion of inheritance in light.
  3. He ________________us from Satan’s prison to His Kingdom.
    1. Believers are not illegals, but fully recognized citizens with full privileges, v. 14.
    2. Only the One sinned against could save us, which is just what He did.

Questions for Study:

  • Scripture variously illustrates the blessings that come to us from our legal & life union with Christ. Each metaphor or picture stresses some aspect of that beneficial union. What union aspects do the following set forth?
    • John 15:1-7;
    • Romans 5:18-19;
    • I Corinthians 12:12-13, 27;
    • I Corinthians 15:20-23;
    • II Corinthians 5:21;
    • Galatians 3:25-29;
    • Ephesians 5:22-32.
  • What qualities of God does His uniting believers to His Son shine forth?
  • While it’s the simplest thing, why is trusting God to honor His Word to save all who believe in Christ one of the hardest things for us?
