What is the meaning of Romans 5, 12, 19? ›

The result of Sin entering the world through Adam was death. Paul has been talking about how the death of Christ fixed everything. Here Paul is saying that what the death (and resurrection — for Paul never separates Christ's death from Christ's resurrection) of Christ needed to fix was death.

Adam's act has brought the crushing weight of sin into the world, and because all sin (Romans 5:12), all of us are under condemnation. But Jesus brought something else into the world that is greater than Adam's act of disobedience. Jesus' obedience brought justification into the world.

In Romans 5:12-21, it is explained by comparing Adam with Christ: Adam sinned and this was how death entered the world. However, it was not the law, but Christ who gave his life for this purpose eliminated what Adam did. Christ's death not only cancelled the harm caused by Adam's fall, but surpasses it by far.

Context Summary. Romans 5:12–21 compares the work of Adam with the work of Christ to show how sin and death came into the world, and how God made a way to escape them. Adam, specially created by God, became the first lawbreaker when he ate from the restricted tree. He brought sin and death to all who came after him.

Those who follow Christ are commanded to never avenge themselves, to never "get even." Whether the hurt comes from fellow believers or from unbelievers, revenge is simply not a legitimate option for us.

Romans 5 begins with a powerful, joyful revelation of all that comes with being justified in God's eyes by our faith in Christ. We have peace with God. We stand in God's grace. We have hope for eternal glory and meaning in our current suffering.

Verse 19: In Christ, many are made righteous. This means legally constituted as righteous, just as we were legally constituted as sinners in Adam. Christ's active and passive obedience - obeying the law and dying on the cross - is the basis for our being made righteous.

Romans 12 begins by asking the question, ''Since He owed us nothing and has given us great mercy, how should we respond? '' The answer is a life of self-sacrificing worship spent in serving the Lord and other believers, refusing revenge and overcoming evil with good.

Romans 5 fleshes out what it means to be justified and the blessings associated with it. We have peace with God, access to God, and hope and perseverance amid suffering. At the core, we have a new life in Christ Jesus with the Holy Spirit as our guide and comfort.

The first sin occurs in Genesis chapter three, technically referred to as “the original sin,” but the first mention of the word “sin” in the Bible is in Genesis 4:7 where God says to Cain: “If you do well, shall you not be accepted? and if you do not well, sin lies at the door.

This concept implies that "unresolved issues get handed down from generation to generation", but that "Jesus is the bondage breaker ...

Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

Verse 18: In Christ, the free gift of justification and life comes to all people. This means forgiveness, being declared righteous, and belonging to the realm of life. Verse 19: In Christ, many are made righteous. This means legally constituted as righteous, just as we were legally constituted as sinners in Adam.

D) These verses define the RECIPIENTS of God's grace. Some people use verses 15-19 to defend universalism, teaching that just as Adam's sin brought condemnation to all (without distinction), so too Christ's righteousness brings justification to all (without distinction).

19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. 19 For as by the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man's obedience the many will be made righteous.

To humble oneself is to acknowledge God as Lord and to obey as servant. In order to do so, then, the Son had to take “the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men” (Philippians 2:7). “We, as creatures, must obey our Creator, and he, as our brother, did the same.”
