Rom. 5:20
Now the law came in to increase the trespass, but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, so that, as sin reigned in death, grace also might reign through righteousness leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Sin came through Adam to all men spreading feverishly and bringing condemnation. But Jesus came to conquer this sin and its resulting death and condemnation. What He offered was a free gift, and the free gift of grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for many. This gift cancelled the condemnation and in its place brought justification. Similar to death reigning in men because of one man's sin, so grace and the free gift of righteousness reigns through one God-man Jesus. Through Adam many were made sinners, but through Jesus many are made righteous. Even as sin increased in men, grace abounded all the more. It would never run out or be used up. Grace reigns through righteousness and leads to eternal life in Jesus Christ.
Adam...disobedience...sin...condemnation...death
Jesus...obedience...grace...justification...righteousness...life
Father,
Thank You for Jesus and the gift of this great abounding grace and salvation. Thank You for sending Your Son to take my place and pay the penalty for my sin.
In Jesus name,
Amen
