  2. The Just Shall Live By Faith Rom 1:17 Paul’s Letter To The Church In Rome

  3. Outline • Introduction 1:1-17 • Indictment of & remedy for sin 1:18 – 5:21 • Anticipated questions re: justification by grace through faith 6:1 – 11:36 Lesson 1 – General Introduction 4

  4. Justification By Faith 3:24 – 5:21 • Comparing Adam & Christ 5:12-19 • Paul discusses how sin got into the world • He shows how the first man’s rebellious actions have affected all mankind • He also shows how The Man’s redemptive sacrifice have also affected all mankind • The points of contrast are several

  5. Justification By Faith 3:24 – 5:21 • Comparing Adam & Christ 5:12-19 • This has become a “favorite playground” for the Calvinist • He thinks it offers proof texts for his belief • Unless the Bible student is careful, he can be led toward incorrect conclusions • The text actually refutes Calvinistic error

  6. Justification By Faith 3:24 – 5:21 • Comparing Adam & Christ 5:12-19 • The passage speaks “abstractly” (in theory) • “The sin” v. 12[Adam’s 1 act] • “The free gift” v. 15[Christ’s 1 act] • The point is to show the power of sin… and to show the greater power of God’s plan to redeem man in sin

  7. If Calvinism, it would say “…death spread through Adam” Justification By Faith 3:24 – 5:21 • Comparing Adam & Christ 5:12-19 • One man brought sin into the world v. 12a • Referencing Adam’s rebellion Gen 3 • As a result, death spread through sin • Death spread to all men because all sin v. 12b 3:9, 23

  8. Justification By Faith 3:24 – 5:21 • Comparing Adam & Christ 5:12-19 • One man brought sin into the world v. 12a • It is Adam’s fault sin is in the world • It is not Adam’s fault I’m in sin…it is mine • Until law came, sin was in the world v. 13a • A point already proven by Paul 2:12, 14

  9. Justification By Faith 3:24 – 5:21 • Comparing Adam & Christ 5:12-19 • Yet, sin not imputed when no law v. 13b • Specifically is Paul’s point Rom 7:7 • Nevertheless, “death reigned from Adam to Moses…” v. 14a • Man was indeed accountable to God, even before the Law of Moses began

  10. Justification By Faith 3:24 – 5:21 • Comparing Adam & Christ 5:12-19 • Nevertheless, “death reigned from Adam to Moses…” v. 14a • Sin can be not in the likeness of Adam’s • Adam violated a precept (command) • Sin is also not doing something Jas 4:17

  11. Justification By Faith 3:24 – 5:21 • Comparing Adam & Christ 5:12-19 • Adam = “…a type of Him who was to come” v. 14b • Adam introduced something that has impacted all humanity • Christ introduced something that has impacted all humanity

  12. Justification By Faith 3:24 – 5:21 • Comparing Adam & Christ 5:12-19 • A proper understanding is “death” is needed • It is either physical or spiritual • Does physical death always come because of sin? • Does spiritual death always come because of sin? Gen 2:16-17 Eph 2:1, 5

  13. Justification By Faith 3:24 – 5:21 • Comparing Adam & Christ 5:12-19 • A proper understanding is “death” is needed • Whatever interpretation we assign “death” must also be assigned to “life” • Context compares “death” to “life” • Christ didn’t come to give man physical life

  14. Comparing Adam & Christ Rom 5:15-19 Adam Christ • Actions brought spiritual death v. 15 • Actions brought condemnation v. 16 • Actions brought spiritual life v. 15 • Actions brought justification v. 16

  15. Comparing Adam & Christ Rom 5:15-19 Adam Christ • Death reigned through his act of transgression v. 17 • An act of transgression v. 18 (condemnation) • Life reigned through His gift of righteousness v. 17 • An act of righteousness v. 18 (justification)

  16. Comparing Adam & Christ Rom 5:15-19 Adam Christ • Disobedience made possible many becoming sinners v. 19 – because all can do what he did… sin (3:23; 5:12) • Obedience made possible many becoming righteous v. 19 – because all can obey Him and be saved (Heb. 5:9)

  17. Justification By Faith 3:24 – 5:21 • Conclusion To Doctrinal Section 5:20-21 • Law came “…that transgression might increase” v. 20a • Make sin apparent Rom 7:13 Gal 3:19 • God’s answer to man’s sin problem has always been more powerful than sin itself v. 20b 1:16 1 Jn 4:1-4

  18. Justification By Faith 3:24 – 5:21 • Conclusion To Doctrinal Section 5:20-21 • Sin is powerful…death reigns in sin v. 21a 1 Cor 15:51-56 Heb 2:14-15 • But God’s grace “…abounds even more” v. 21b 1 Cor 15:57

  19. “Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound?” Justification By Faith 3:24 – 5:21 • Conclusion To Doctrinal Section 5:20-21 • These 2 concluding verses also serve as the “bridge” to the next section 6:1 – 11:36 • Specifically, they introduce the 1st question Paul anticipates 6:1-14
