January 27th - Grace is Greater than Sin

"For by GRACE are you saved..." (Ephesians 2:8)

“Consequently, then, as it was through one offense for all humanity for condemnation, thus also it is through one just award for all humanity for life's justifying. For even as, through the disobedience of the one human, the many were constituted sinners, thus also, through the obedience of the One, the many shall be constituted just." (Romans 5:18-19)

Are the sins of humanity greater than the "GRACE" of God? No, of course not.

Institutional Christianity seems to think so. It agrees that the one sin of Adam put all humanity under "condemnation", yet denies that the "one just award" by Jesus resulted in "life's justifying" for all humanity. Teaching such has denied the true gospel to those who join its assemblies.

Again, wh ! at does the Bible say above? 

It says that "all humanity" who received "condemnation" for Adam's sin are the same all humanity who received "life's justifying" by the one act of righteousness of Jesus. When you read all of Romans Chapter 5 this truth becomes abundantly clear. 

I suppose the confusion occurs because of the word "many". But it clearly says that the same "many" who "were constituted sinners" are the same "many" who are "constituted just".

"...yet where sin increases, GRACE superexceeds, that, even as Sin reigns in death, thus GRACE also should be reigning through righteousness, for life eonian, through Jesus Christ, our Lord." (Romans 5:20-21)

The grace of God is greater than the sins of humanity and that is very good news
