Paul Responds to Questions Paul Responds to Questions 1. What about the Law? Do we abolish it when we accept this system of salvation? (3:27-31) 2. What about Abraham, was he not justified because he obeyed God? (4:1-25) 3. What does this system accomplish for me? (5:1-21)
Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; - - Romans 5:1 Romans 5:1- -2a 2a

For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will hardly die for a righteous man; though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. - - Romans 5:6 Romans 5:6- -8 8
Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. - - Romans 5:9 Romans 5:9- -10 10
And not only this, but we also exult in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation. - - Romans 5:11 Romans 5:11

What Salvation What Salvation Gives Gives Me Me 6. 6.ETERNAL LIFE ETERNAL LIFE vs. 12 In order to explain this benefit, Paul must first explain the source of sin and its destructive end death. vs. 12- -21 21
Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned for until the Law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law. Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who had not sinned in the likeness of the offense of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come. - - Romans 5:12 Romans 5:12- -14 14
Pauls conclusion is that even though the LAW was not revealed to man its principles were still in operation. YOU YOU SIN SIN YOU YOU DIE DIE
Adams Sin was Great Because: Adam s Sin was Great Because: 1. Adam had not cumulative weakness of the flesh. He lived in a perfect world. 2. He had intimate knowledge of God and yet he sinned. 3. He had privilege as the first human and head of creation.
Adam was a Type of Christ Adam was a Type of Christ CHRIST CHRIST ADAM ADAM Only begotten John 3:16 (One of a kind) Original in form
Adam was a Type of Christ Adam was a Type of Christ CHRIST CHRIST ADAM ADAM Only begotten John 3:16 (One of a kind) Original in form First among the resurrected (I Cor. 15:20) Head of race
Adam was a Type of Christ Adam was a Type of Christ CHRIST CHRIST ADAM ADAM Only begotten John 3:16 (One of a kind) Original in form First among the resurrected (I Cor. 15:20) Head of race Channel for sin and death Channel for life (I Cor. 15:21-23
But the free gift is not like the transgression. For if by the transgression of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many. - - Romans 5:15 Romans 5:15
The gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned; for on the one hand the judgment arose from one transgression resulting in condemnation, but on the other hand the free gift arose from many transgressions resulting in justification. - - Romans 5:16 Romans 5:16
For if by the transgression of the one, death reigned through the one, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ. - - Romans 5:17 Romans 5:17
So then as through one transgression there resulted condemnation to all men, even so through one act of righteousness there resulted justification of life to all men. For as through the one man s disobedience the many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the One the many will be made righteous. - - Romans 5:18 Romans 5:18- -19 19
The Law came in so that the transgression would increase; - - Romans 5:20a Romans 5:20a
but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, so that, as sin reigned in death, even so grace would reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. - - Romans 5:20b Romans 5:20b- -21 21
