Death in Adam - Life in Christ - Part 2

Therefore, as one trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men. For as by the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man's obedience the many will be made righteous. --- Romans 5:18–19 (ESV) You can say that the story of the Bible is the story of two people. These two representatives are the head of two humanities, but they are not the same story. They go in opposite, unequal directions. Their stories define our story. This week we take a second look at Romans 5:12-21. This is a dense but important look at who represents us and how we are represented. One thing that has stood out to me this week as I've studied the passage is the incongruous nature between what Adam did and what Christ accomplished. I want to encourage you to read through this passage to prepare your heart and mind to explore it.
