b]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[/b]?[ I feel that today an ambassador is acting for the US goverment and people to which ever country he is assigned to . The top representitive or a Union will speak for and represent all the members of a Union. And at times the senator of an area is representing the people of a state in congress in washington. An ambassador is tied only to the president of the US and the leaders in congress and THe house of representatives. the individual people in the US may know about him but have little ties personally with an ambassador. the top representative of a union only knows the whole picture of how the Union members feel by their voats. they are tied together by meetings and votes. Senator is more tied to his people of a certain region because any person may write and contact the senator or call and talk to a senator. Only there are red tape to get thru the people running the office but this person I think is more likely to have a good idea of what people who are in his area think and personally how they feel thru letters , emails etc...

(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? It is important to believe in our hearts that " Christ died for us while we were still sinners " because we will not believe that we had any part in salvation other than accepting it as a free gift.

Q1. (Romans 5:1-2) According to verses 1-2, faith is a key to salvation. For Abraham (4:3), what was the relationship between faith and justification? For us (5:1-2), what is the relationship between faith and justification? In your own words, just what does it mean to be justified? A. For Abraham the relationship between faith and justification was Abraham had faith in God for everything, relied on God for everything. Faith is total trust / or total reliance on something . with faith at Abrahams time of living that something was God. And God considered his reliance and trust in Him(God) and was like a judge in a court room . God considered Abraham justified / because of his faith/trst/reliance on God. B. The diffrence in our relationship of faith and justification is that God sent Jesus to die for us on Calvery, this act by Jesus of Jesus dying on the cross in our behalf satisified Gods need for Sin to be attoned for. Now we must put our trust,/faith/ completely rely on Jesus and his death on calvery and God will consider us saved by faith, righteous by faith. we cannot do a thing to make ourselves good , justified , presentable to God but we must totally rely on what Jesus did in our place to be considered saved or justified. C. In my own words to be Justified means that I must Know and love Jesus and totally rely on Jesus and his death on calvery to be my covering that when I come into the prerence of God My sins will not be noticed but Jesus' act on calvery will cover my sins and God can see me and not be put off by my sin. I will be accepted as justifed only because of Jesus.
