From verses nine to eleven, Paul explains that Christ’s blood allows us to be reconciled and justified in the sight of God. The love that caused Christ to die is the same love that sends the Holy Spirit to live in us and guide us every day. The power that raised Christ from the dead is the same power that saved us and is available to us in our daily lives. God is holy, and he will be not be associated with sin. Instead of punishing us with the death we deserve, Christ took our sins upon himself and took on our punishment by dying on the cross. Through Christ’s blood, we can be reconciled to the Father instead of being seen as his enemies.

Romans 5:9-11
9 Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him! 10 For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! 11 Not only is this so, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
