Romans 5: Peace with God, and the Two Adams
Justified by faith, believers have peace with God, access into grace, and a hope that suffering cannot shame; and as one man brought sin and death to the whole race, one Man brings righteousness and life to all who receive the gift, for where sin abounded, grace did much more abound.
The lesson walks through the topic one card at a time. The full study is the complete written article, with its sources.
Name what justification gives the believer in Romans 5:1-11: peace, access, hope, the love of God, and the certainty of being saved from wrath.
Trace how God uses tribulation to produce patience, proven character, and hope (Romans 5:3-5).
Explain Romans 5:12 as Theologica reads it: we inherit a fallen nature and death from Adam, and each person is guilty by his own sin; and state the federal and realist views fairly.
Show how Christ's gift is greater than Adam's offence, and why grace abounding is never a license to sin.
