Romans 5:19 “For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.” Are you absolutely perfect? Amazingly, yes. (tell that to your spouse or parent). Are you a sinner in desperate need of an advocate? Sadly, yes. (maybe you don’t want to tell that to your spouse or parent). The first is the result of the love of our God. The second is the result of the disobedience of our ancestor, Adam. God, through Paul, insists on helping you and me understand His great love for us desperate sinners. He wants us to know that we are His and He has done everything in His power to have us live with Him on this earth and eternally. There is no greater unfailing love !!! Have a great weekend.

Romans 5:18 “Consequently, just as the result of one trespass was condemnation for all men, so also the result of one act of righteousness was justification that brings life for all men.” Two events in history have such huge consequences. One, extremely negative while the other is extremely positive. Adam sadly brings the worst catastrophe possible while our Savior joyfully brings the greatest relationship possible. Both affect our lives like nothing else. You and I will die because of one. You and I will live because of the other. God wants you and me to clearly understand both events and the results each has brought.
