Q1. What kinds of circumstances in modern life can you think of where a single person acts for an entire group? In what ways are members of the group tied to this person?
Pastor of a Church if he falls into sin the whole church is affected... there is a split and people follow the man rather than Christ. Any one of us can fall, we are all human, so we have to stay in the Word and in Christ.
The President's actions, Our parents, they sin, we suffer. WE need to walk in the Spirit.

Q4. (Romans 5:9-11) What does "reconciliation" mean? Why is reconciliation with God necessary? We understand our having been saved by Jesus' death (5:10a, past tense). In what sense are we being saved (5:10b, present tense) by his life? What is Jesus doing for us in the present?

Q3. (Romans 5:6, 8) Why is it so important to embrace the truth that "Christ died for the ungodly" (5:6), that "Christ died for sinners" (5:8)? According to 5:8, did Christ die for us at our best or at our worst? How does this give us assurance against the devil's lies about us being too bad to forgive?
Because we are all sinners and are powerless to save ourselves. Christ died for us when we were ungodly. This gives us assurance because we are not saved by our own righteousness but we can stand still in God's grace and favor because it is his righteousness not ours.

Sin was in the world from the time Adam through Moses, but the people did not realize it to be sin because there was yet no law but when the law came sin revived we died,the knowledge of it making it exceedingly more sinful.
