This passage reveals Gods plan of redemption:
Q. How will He deliver the gift to those who confess Jesus as Lord?
Read the passage and then let's break it down.
12Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned-13 for until the Law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law.14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam, until Moses, even over those who had not sinned in the likenesss of the offense of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come.
15But the free gift is not like the transgression. For if by the transgression of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many. 16 The gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned; for on the one hand the judgment arose from one transgression resulting in condemnation, but on the other hand the free gift arose from many transgressions, resulting in justification.
17For if by the transgression of the one, death reigned through the one, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ. 18 So then as through one transgression there resulted condemnation to all men, even so through one act of righteousness there resulted justification of life to all men.
19 For as through the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the One the many will be made righteous. 20 The law came in so that the transgression would increase; but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, 21 so that, as sin reigned in death, even so grace would reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
First He says there are two Adams:
The original or 1st Adam (a type of him who was to come)
and Jesus who is the 2nd Adam (the one that came)
Let's look at the chain reaction that resulted from their actions:
1st Adam
--one trespass
--judgement arose and mankind was condemned (sentenced to death). Many died
--death spread (infected) all men
--through one man's disobedience many were made sinners
--sin increased with the Law
--sin reigned through death
2nd Adam
--many trespasses
--free gift arose from many transgressions, resulting in justification. Many will live.
--grace of God and the gift (came into the world through Jesus)--spread to all men
--through the obedience of the One many will be made righteous
--grace abounded even more
--grace reigns through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
A. He will deliver the gift to those who confess Jesus as Lord through grace and His righteousness.
For each sentence handed down from the disobedience of Adam, God sent a pardon through the obedience of Christ Jesus.
Bam in your face :) God is amazing!
He created something beautiful that was exchanged by Adam and Eve for something else. God then came up with a plan of redemption knowing that we now have been condemned to a life without His presence.
Think:
In Sodom and Gomorrah they were warned... the way out...
leave the city.
In the days of Noah... they were warned... the way out...
get on the ark.
The nation of Israel... they were warned... the way out...
choose life.
Today... we have been warned...the way out...
Jesus Christ
