The "Much More" of "Life"

"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." Romans 5:10

God wants to do "much more" than just take us from being enemies to being forgiven. If being "saved" was just about forgiveness this verse would not make sense.

"Salvation" is not something we save up for and wait for like social security, it is a daily experience of the risen¹ Jesus; living in the his kingdom now and forever. King David put it this way,

"Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation." - Psalm 68:19
