Reign In Life
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"
