Hey Pastor John,<\/span><\/p>\n

I was reading in Romans tonight.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a>5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: <\/span><\/span>
\n <\/a>5:13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. <\/span><\/a><\/span>
\n 5:14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam’s transgression,\u00a0who is the figure of him that was to come.<\/span><\/span>
\n <\/a>5:15 But not as the offence, so also is<\/em> the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift\u00a0by grace, which is<\/em> by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. <\/span><\/a><\/span>
\n 5:16 And not as it was<\/em> by one that sinned, so is<\/em> the gift: for the judgment was<\/em> by one to condemnation, but the free gift is<\/em> of many offences unto justification.<\/span><\/span>
\n <\/a>5:17 For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)<\/span><\/span>
\n <\/a>5:18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came<\/em> upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came<\/em> upon all men unto justification of life.<\/span><\/span>
\n <\/a>5:19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I know you’ve preached about this before, but this was so good tonight.\u00a0 Here’s what I got out of it: <\/span><\/p>\n

1:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Through Adam, sin entered into the world; through Jesus, life entered into the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

2:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Anyone that is naturally born into the world, has sin in his flesh by nature because of Adam’s sin.<\/span><\/p>\n

3:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Anyone that is born of the spirit has life because of Jesus’s righteousness.<\/span><\/p>\n

I knew this previously, but the symbolism that Paul was putting into words just jumped out at me.\u00a0 God’s incredible.<\/span><\/p>\n

Atn.<\/span><\/p>\n

===========<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, that is what Paul was saying, Aaron.\u00a0 And God is<\/span> amazing.\u00a0 Please stay on the road you are on.\u00a0 You have caught the spark which, when caught, leads to a happy life in Jesus.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
