Romans 4-6

Through One Man's Righteous Act The Free Gift Came to All Men

Romans 5:18-21 Therefore, as through one man’s offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one Man’s righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life. For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous. Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more, so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Adam's disobedience resulted in a fallen world. Through this one man's offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation. But God demonstrated His love toward all mankind by giving His only Son as an atoning sacrifice so that anyone in this fallen world who should believe in Yeshua would be saved. (John 3:16-18) And by this one man's obedience many are made righteous. All who believe in Yeshua are not condemned but justified by faith. Having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. How blessed we are with this hope, that all who believe shall not perish but have eternal life. Thank You Father for blessing this world with the gift of Your beloved Son that He might take upon Himself our sins. May we who have been delivered and set free from sin become Your bond servants and bear fruit to holiness, and receive everlasting life. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Blessed are we whose lawless deeds are forgiven and whose sins are covered; blessed is the one to whom the LORD shall not impute sin. (Psalm 32:1-2)
