Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death came through sin, and so death spread to all because all have sinned—sin was indeed in the world before the law, but sin is not reckoned when there is no law. Yet death exercised dominion from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sins were not like the transgression of Adam, who is a type of the one who was to come. But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died through the one man’s trespass, much more surely have the grace of God and the free gift in the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abounded for the many. And the free gift is not like the effect of the one man’s sin. For the judgment following one trespass brought condemnation, but the free gift following many trespasses brings justification. If, because of the one man’s trespass, death exercised dominion through that one, much more surely will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness exercise dominion in life through the one man, Jesus Christ. Therefore just as one man’s trespass led to condemnation for all, so one man’s act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all. For just 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. (Romans 5:12-19, NRSV)
Sin came into the world through 1 man…
Or 1 man and 1 woman…
But Sin was not known until we partook of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. This is not to say it didn’t exist, we just had no knowledge of it…
But sin entered and man died because of his sin. And then entered Jesus!
And through the sin of 1 man we all die, and through the gift of 1 man we are all covered by grace!
It is like the single candle, the single light shining in the darkness. Lighting our whole world!
