Where Sin Abounded (Rom. 5:12-21)
Read Romans 5:12-21. In what way is the message of God's grace revealed in these texts?
The message of God's grace revealed in these texts:
1. All men can't escape death because all men sinned. Even babies who had not sinned, can't escape death either.
2. Free gift is not like the offense, due to Adam's offense, many died. The gift of Grace through one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many. Through Jesus, we're justified.
3. I like verse 17: "For if by the one man’s 7offense
death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of
grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the
One, Jesus Christ".
4. The justification of life is so impressive because in verse 19: "For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by zone Man’s obedience many will be made righteous".
5. Grace reigned through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Wow, "a person condemned to death by inhering the sin of the first Adam can now embrace the gift of life by accepting the
righteousness of the Second one, Jesus". Thank you God for His marvelous Providence.

Law and Grace (Rom. 6:15-23)
According to Romans 6:12, 15-23, what are the implications for living a life of grace? See especially Rom. 6:12, 15, 17.
1. Stop sinning. Obedience to righteousness means that you present your daily life by obeying Jesus who leads us to righteousness. Be a slave to righteousness for holiness so that at the end, you receive everlasting life.
2. Romans 6:23 "For ethe wages of sin is death, but fthe 8gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord".
