Romans Adam and Christ Contrasted12 When Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adam’s sin brought death, so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned. 13 Yes, people sinned even before the law was given. But it was not counted as sin because there was not yet any law to break. 14 Still, everyone died—from the time of Adam to the time of Moses—even those who did not disobey an explicit commandment of God, as Adam did. Now Adam is a symbol, a representation of Christ, who was yet to come. 15 But there is a great difference between Adam’s sin and God’s gracious gift. For the sin of this one man, Adam, brought death to many. But even greater is God’s wonderful grace and his gift of forgiveness to many through this other man, Jesus Christ. 16 And the result of God’s gracious gift is very different from the result of that one man’s sin. For Adam’s sin led to condemnation, but God’s free gift leads to our being made right with God, even though we are guilty of many sins. 17 For the sin of this one man, Adam, caused death to rule over many. But even greater is God’s wonderful grace and his gift of righteousness, for all who receive it will live in triumph over sin and death through this one man, Jesus Christ.18 Yes, Adam’s one sin brings condemnation for everyone, but Christ’s one act of righteousness brings a right relationship with God and new life for everyone. 19 Because one person disobeyed God, many became sinners. But because one other person obeyed God, many will be made righteous.20 God’s law was given so that all people could see how sinful they were. But as people sinned more and more, God’s wonderful grace became more abundant. 21 So just as sin ruled over all people and brought them to death, now God’s wonderful grace rules instead, giving us right standing with God and resulting in eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.Proverb 24 The accomplices of thieves are their own enemies;    they are put under oath and dare not testify.25 Fear of man will prove to be a snare,    but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe.SHOW NOTESDavey's Metallica Shirt Are you born a sinner?We all are going to Die. The law is what condemns usMoses murdered someone before the 10 commandmentsCain did not have the law but he probably knew he was doing something wrong.Adam is a "type" that is a template for who christ would someday become.One man caused condemnation for all, one man sacrificed for all.Atheist like to argue against the idea of Jesus' sacrifice for our sins.The United States common law legal system has some similarities.God is the legislature, Judge and the plaintiff and he has chosen to accept your full sentence.While we were still guilty, Jesus took our punishment.Intent precedes content.GR17 W3 EP5--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thegoodraceshow/message
