Romans 5:12-15 contrasts the effects of sin and death through Adam with the grace of God through Christ. Paul explains that sin entered the world through one man, Adam, bringing death to all humanity. This passage highlights the universal impact of sin, showing that all people are affected by Adam’s disobedience. However, Paul quickly shifts the focus to salvation through Christ, who brings redemption where sin once reigned.
Unlike Adam’s trespass, which led to condemnation, God’s grace and the gift of salvation through Jesus overflow to many. Paul emphasizes that while sin brought death, the work of Christ far surpasses its effects, offering justification and redemption to all who believe. This passage reassures believers that God’s grace is more powerful than sin, pointing to the hope found in Jesus' sacrifice and the restoration of life through Him.
