####CG Questions - Romans
**Week 1 - Recap Chapters 1-8**

**Exercise:**

Break up in pairs and have each person take one minute to share the good news of the Gospel with the other. When you come back together as a group, share your experience.


####Questions:

- How do you feel when you hear that God loves you? Why do you feel this way?
- What is the balance between being free from the law and not just doing whatever we want?

**Notes:**

The Good News of Jesus Christ, who satisfied the wrath of God for wicked sinners, as a free gift received by faith; He made peace with God, who loves us, freeing us from sin and the Law to live free in the Spirit as sons and daughters.


SALVATION:

1. God rescues us from guilt, the pollution of sin, slavery and the penalty of sin.

2. God brings us into a new relationship with himself, as we are accepted as his children, made righteous and holy, free to obey and glorify God; a new relationship that starts now and lasts for eternity.
