The passage before us is one of the greatest theological sections of the Bible. In these 10 verses, Paul summarizes the theology of the preceding chapters about the sinfulness of man and the provision of Salvation thru our Savior, Jesus Christ. There is a positive progression that takes place here. The passage begins in the abyss with man’s ruin, it then ascends through the rescue of redemption and culminates with the reign of grace for those who believe.
