Reign in LIfe!
Romans 5:12 - 17
Main Point:
Receive the grace of the Risen Messiah Jesus and He will enable us to reign in this life!
Reign (basiluo) = to reign as with a King (in contrast to death reigning over us).
1. Sin and death entered the world through the one man Adam, and came to all people because all sinned. (verses 12-14)
Adam first sinned, but we all _confirm it by sinning! (Romans 3:23)
2. Through this came judgment and condemnation (death reigning), but grace and righteousness overflows thru Messiah Jesus! (verses 15-16)
Overflow (perissuo) = to superabound, overflow exceedingly! !
John 1:17-18
3. Those who receive this abundant provision of grace and the gift of righteousness reign in life thru Messiah Jesus! (verse 17)
John 6:37 "All those the Father gives to me shall come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never turn them away"
