ROMANS 5:15

But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God’s grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many!

TO PONDER

When Adam, the first man sinned, sin entered the world. We are not immune to sin. As long as sin has control over me, I am quarantined from God. One sin messed it up for us all. In that reality we understand the cure that Jesus made possible. It took the death of Jesus to provide us the forgiveness of God. That’s why God sent Jesus Christ to be our Savior. God’s grace in Jesus trumps the infection of sin.

Prayer: Lord Jesus, what a gift of grace you give. Though we still live in an infected world, we thank you that we no longer have to live in the grip of sin. Help me to live accordingly for you. Amen
