Sermon: Romans 5:12-21; "From Death to Life"
Date: November 23, 2014
Pastor: Michael Howard


Scripture: Romans 5:12-21

12 Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man,
and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people,
because all sinned—

13 To be sure, sin was in the world before the law was given,
but sin is not charged against anyone’s account where there is
no law.
14 Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time
of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command,
as did Adam, who is a pattern of the one to come.

15 But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by
the trespass of the one man, how much more did God’s grace and the
gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow
to the many!
16 Nor can the gift of God be compared with the result of one man’s
sin: The judgment followed one sin and brought condemnation, but
the gift followed many trespasses and brought justification.
17 For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through
that one man, how much more will those who receive God’s abundant
provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life
through the one man, Jesus Christ!

18 Consequently, just as one trespass resulted in condemnation for
all people, so also one righteous act resulted in justification and
life for all people.
19 For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many
were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man
the many will be made righteous.

20 The law was brought in so that the trespass might increase. But
where sin increased, grace increased all the more,
21 so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign
through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our
Lord.
