Romans 5:19 For as by the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man's obedience the many will be made righteous.
The first "one man's disobedience" is Adam. The second "man's obedience" is Jesus Christ. That is mind blowing isn't it? God's perfect creation perverted by sin and His plan of salvation for those who will repent. He knew man was weak and would yield to temptation. What a wonderful Creator who knew us as weak and sinful and still made a way for our salvation. What a tremendous gift Jesus is!!
We had death in Adam and we have life in Christ!
Romans 5:12-13 Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned-- for sin indeed was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not counted where there is no law.
Romans 5:17-18 For if, because of one man's trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ. Therefore, as one trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men.
Be at peace with God, through Christ!
Romans 5:1 Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Romans 5:8 but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Lord, I sing praises to Your name. You sent salvation in the form of a man, one who was sinless, one who obeyed, one who cares for us daily and we are blessed by You. Amen
