Because Of One Man

Romans 5 lays out seven present realities that belong to every believer because of justification through faith in Jesus Christ. These are not distant promises waiting to be claimed. They are yours right now. Because of Christ, you have peace with God, permanent access to grace, hope in His glory, hope through suffering, God's love poured into your heart, the indwelling Holy Spirit, and full reconciliation with God. One man, Adam, brought sin and death into the world. One man, Jesus Christ, brought righteousness and life. You did not help accomplish it, and He did not ask for your help. The glory belongs entirely to Him.
