Therefore, as one trespass led to condemnation for all men,
so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men.

It is emphasized here again: Adam’s one trespass led to condemnation for all his descendants. On the other hand, one act of righteousness of the second Adam, Jesus Christ, leads to justification and life for all men. But there is one problem. Christ died for all people, but not all people will be saved. To be saved they must admit their sin both to themselves and to God, and accept by faith justification and life given us through Christ’s act of righteousness. The Son of God paid the just penalty for all our sins on the wood of the cross. Therefore, the condition for receiving justification obtained for us by Jesus on the cross is true repentance connected with faith in Jesus the Son of God and true Saviour who really died for my every sin too. And I give these sins to Him and receive His forgiveness by faith in spirit by the cross.
