That’s why the Bible calls death the king of terrors. The whole earth is pock-marked with graves to support the fact that death reigns. All men become the subjects of death. More than sixty million people, at least, die every year; two of them die every second. Death claims every one of us unless we be taken to glory in the rapture of the church.How is it that death reigns in the world? Why is it that everyone must die, whether at the end of a long life or at the beginning? Whether dying in the 90s or dying in the first moments after birth, and all in between? Why is it? How did death come to be the reigning monarch of the world?The answer is in our passage, Romans 5: 12-19. I want to warn you at the very beginning that you’re going to have to concentrate and think with me because this is a very, very carefully detailed argument by Paul and it’s one that plunges us deep into mysteries which we will never be able to understand until some day we get to heaven.  To sum up:If you are in Adam, you are under the reign of death, but if you are in Christ, you will reign in life, because Christ’s gift is greater than Adam’s sin. The whole story of the human race can be summed up in terms of what has happened because of Adam, and what has happened and will yet happen because of Jesus Christ. Call (917) 889-9158
