For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
Think about it, when we were literally against God, he still chose to make things right between us through his Son's death. So now that we're good with him, imagine how much more he's going to take care of us through Jesus being alive.
If God loved you when you were his enemy, just wait and see what he'll do now that you're family.
