Word of life – Rom 5:17

“For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one,

much more those who receive abundance of grace

and of the gift of righteousness will reign

in life through the One, Jesus Christ.”

(Rom 5:17 NKJ)

What you have

In Adam                                                                     In Christ

Offense                          Abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness

Kingdom of death                                                   Kingdom of life

…………………………………….

If we abide in Adam, we can remain passive, do nothing and just await death. If we want to abide in Christ, we have to deny ourselves and get out of our self through true repentance – that means, through the saving faith.
