Romans 5, Part 15
By One Man, Jesus Christ
By Tammy Lacock
“For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of Grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.” (Romans 5:17, KJB)
Warren Litzman discusses in more detail Romans 5:17, reminding us that the Apostle Paul is the Apostle of Grace because his writings ushered in the Dispensation of Grace in which we are living NOW.
In Roman 5:17, Paul states it is by this Grace of God that we are saved. Through God’s abundant Grace, He sent one man, Jesus Christ, to redeem us from the sin of one man, Adam. Paul’s writings help believers understand the final gospel of Jesus Christ that by His death, burial, and resurrection, we too die to this life of sin and rise up with Christ to a new life IN Him. Christ is our righteousness. He is our All. As believers alive IN Him, God our Father in Heaven now sees us blameless and holy. We are His bona fide children!
There is only one man who can bring anybody out of this life of sin and death into a new life, eternal life in Him. There is only one man that can bring us back to God. His mighty and beautiful name is Jesus Christ.
