And the free gift is not like the result of that one man’s sin. For the judgment following trespass brought condemnation, but the free gift following many trespasses brought justification. For, if because of one man’s trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in the life through the one man Jesus Christ. Romans 5:16-17. Paul affirms that all mankind is naturally under the guilt and power of sin, the reign of death, and the inescapable wrath of God. He traces this back to the sin of one man, Adam, whom he describes as our common ancestor. Genesis gives us the history of man’s fall, and it may fairly be claimed that the fall narrative alone gives any convincing explanation of the perversity of human nature. Today, take a few moments and ponder at who you really are by nature, and just how incredible His grace is in your life. Be reminded also that His grace was freely given you’ve done nothing to earn it!
