Text: Romans 5:8-21; Read verses 14-21
Romans 5:8
"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that,
while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."
Romans 5:9
"Much more then, being now
justified (un-chargeable) by his blood, we shall be
saved from wrath through him."
1 John 1:7, 9
"But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have
fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son
cleanseth us from all sin. . . .
9. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to
forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all
unrighteousness."
Romans 5:10
“For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by
the death [thanatos] of his Son,
much more, being reconciled,
we shall be saved (from the wrath, v. 9) by his life
(as our high priest, 1 John 1:9).”
James 4:4
"Ye adulterers and adulteresses (chargeable offences),
know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever
therefore will be a friend of the world (chargeable)
is the enemy of God."
Romans 5:11
“And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus
Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement [reconciliation].”
Colossians 1:21-23
"And you, that were sometime alienated
and enemies in your mind by wicked works,
yet now hath he reconciled
22.
In the body of his
flesh through [the] death, to present you holy and
unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:
23.
If ye continue
in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from
the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to
every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;"
Romans 5:12
“Wherefore, as by one man (Adam) [the] sin entered into
the world, and [the] death by [the] sin; and so [the] death
passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:” (The sin of
lawlessness)
1 John 3:4
“Everyone who practices [the] sin also practices [the]
lawlessness; and [the] sin is [the] lawlessness.” (NASB)
Romans 5:13
"(For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed
(charged to our account, only here and in Philemon 18 ) when there is
no law."
DEEPER KNOWLEDGE OF SIN
Romans 3:20
". . for by the law is the knowledge of sin."
Romans 5:14
"Nevertheless [the] death reigned from Adam to
Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's
transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come."
Hebrews 12:24
"And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of
sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel (no
blood sprinkled)."
1 Peter 1:2
"Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through
sanctification of the Spirit (submissive spirit, not the Holy Spirit),
unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus
Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied."
Romans 5:15
"But not as the offence [fall away], so also is
the free gift [grace gift]. For if through the offence of
one (Adam) [the] many be dead,
much more the grace of God,
and the gift by grace (the same as the grace gift),
which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto
[the] many."
John 4:10
"Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift [gift
by grace] of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou
wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water."
AGELASTING
LIFE
John 4:14
"But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never
thirst; but the water (gift by grace) that I shall give him
shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting [agelasting
(preferred kingdom)] life."
Hebrews 6:4
"For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and
have tasted of the heavenly gift [gift by grace, water of
life], and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,"
GRACE GIFT
Romans 6:23
"For the wages of [the] sin is [the] death
[thanatos, demotion from the kingdom life]; but the gift [grace
gift] of God is (promotion)eternal (millennial
kingdom) life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
Romans 5:16
"And not as it was by one [Adam] that
sinned (one offence caused him to fall), so is (contrast)
the gift [gift by grace, promotion to kingdom life]: for the
judgment was by one (Adam’s single sin) to condemnation
(demotion from kingdom life in the garden), but the free gift
[grace gift, to kingdom life] is of many (not
unlimited) offences (fall away) unto [leading to]
justification (un-chargeable)."
LONGSUFFERING
2 Peter 3:9
"The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count
slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any
should perish, but that all should come to repentance."
Romans 5:17
"For if by one man's offence death reigned by one;
much more they (the many)
which receive [present active participle] abundance of
grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life (in
the kingdom) by one, Jesus Christ.)"
Hebrews 12:28
"Wherefore we receiving [present active participle] a
kingdom which cannot be moved (changed), let us [may we]
have [present active subjunctive] grace, whereby we may
serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:"
Romans 5:18
"Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men (the
many by context) to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of
one the free gift came upon all men (the many by context)
unto [leading to] justification (un-chargeable) of
life [in the kingdom]."
Romans 8:1 "There is therefore now (but there will be
at the judgment seat of Christ)no condemnation to them which are in
Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit (not
the Holy Spirit)."
Romans 8:15
". . . but ye have received the Spirit of adoption
[sonship], whereby we cry, Abba, Father."
Romans 5:19
"For as by one man's (Adam) disobedience [the]
many (called unto His kingdom and glory) were made [appointed,
ordained] sinners, so by the obedience (in the garden)
of one (Christ) shall [the] many be made [shall
be appointed, ordained] righteous [just]."
Romans 4:8 "Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not
impute sin." (un-chargeable)
Psalms 65:4 "Blessed is the man whom thou
choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that
he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy
house, even of thy holy temple."
Romans 5:20
"Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound.
But where [the] sin abounded, grace did
much more abound:"
Romans 5:21
"That as [the] sin hath reigned unto (leading to) [the]
death, even so might grace reign through
righteousness (living, Romans 6) unto [leading to]
eternal [agelasting] (preferred kingdom) life by
Jesus Christ our Lord."
Psalms 65:4 "Blessed is the man whom thou
choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may
dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the
goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple."
