Superabounding Grace Over Sin (Rom 5:17-21), Part 2/3

Send us Fan MailThe question nobody asks calmly is the one we start with: what happens to babies and children who die before they can “understand”? We walk through Romans 5, original sin, and the uncomfortable claim that death passes to all in Adam, while also admitting something many people avoid saying out loud, God may show mercy in ways He has not disclosed. That tension forces us to hold two truths at once: Scripture speaks clearly about our condition in Adam, and Scripture also teaches that some answers belong to the Lord.From there we turn to the best news we’ve got: Christ’s obedience. We dig into imputed righteousness, using a simple “accounting ledger” picture to show why justification is not only the removal of guilt but also the crediting of Christ’s righteousness to believers. That’s why we push back so hard on the idea that salvation can be lost. If Christ pays the debt and then credits righteousness, the verdict over God’s people is not fragile. It’s permanent.We also address the “God is unfair” objection, predestination and election, and what the Bible means when it says God shows no partiality. We talk through the “age of accountability” debate, why it raises real moral questions, and why we believe the law exposes sin rather than saving anyone. If you’ve ever felt shaken by these doctrines, we think this conversation will meet you where you are while pointing you back to the cross.If this helped you, subscribe, share it with a friend who’s wrestling, and leave a review so more people can find it.
