We are finishing up chapter five today. I told you yesterday that chapter five is broken into two parts: the blessing of justification, and an explanation of how it all works. Today we’re talking about how it works. Paul has spent most of the first five chapters telling us how ALL OF MANKIND sins. We are born into sin! You’ve probably heard that phrase before “born into sin.” What does that even mean? Verse 15 says that many died through one man’s trespass (death being the result of sin). Who was that one man? It was Adam.
Here’s the good news. Verse 14 says that Adam was a “type” of the one who was to come. Another person came, who is the “head” of the church. Chapter five says he brought a free gift, which was justification for everyone. Do you know who that man is? It’s Jesus Christ!
When Jesus came, he made a way for us all to be reconciled with him!
