CHRIST DIED FOR THE UNGODLY
Romans 5:6
For at just the right time, while we were still powerless (unable to save ourselves), Christ died for the ungodly.
PROVEN LOVE
Romans 5:8
But God proves His love for us in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
JUSTIFIED BY HIS BLOOD
Romans 5:9
Therefore, since we have now been justified by His blood, how much more shall we be saved from wrath through Him?
Romans 3:25-26
God presented Him as the atoning sacrifice through faith in His blood, in order to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance He had passed over the sins committed beforehand.
He did this to demonstrate His righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and to justify the one who has faith in Jesus.
RECONCILED TO GOD THROUGH CHRIST
Romans 5:10
For if, when we were enemies of God, we were reconciled to Him through the death of His Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through His life!
2 Corinthians 5:17-19
Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away. Behold, the new has come!
All this is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation:
that God was reconciling the world to Himself in Christ, not counting men’s trespasses against them. And He has committed to us the message of reconciliation.
WE REJOICE IN GOD THROUGH JESUS
Romans 5:11
Not only that, but we also rejoice (live with God-given confidence) in God through our LORD Jesus Christ, through Whom we have now received reconciliation (restoration resulting from Christ exchanging His righteousness {His blood} for our guilt).
DEATH & SIN THROUGH ONE MAN
Romans 5:12
Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, so also death was passed on to all men, because all have sinned.
Romans 3:23
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.
GIFT OF GRACE ABOUNDS
Romans 5:15
But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God’s grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many!
Ephesians 2:8-9
For by grace you are saved through faith, and this not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,
not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.
GIFT BRINGS JUSTIFICATION
Romans 5:16
Again, the gift is not like the result of the one man’s sin: The judgment that followed one sin brought condemnation, but the gift that followed many trespasses brought justification.
Justification: a sentence of acquittal, a restoration of a criminal.
Isaiah 43:25
I, even I, am he that blots out your transgressions for My own sake, and will not remember your sins.
Isaiah 44:22
I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, your transgressions, and, as a cloud, your sins: return unto Me; for I have redeemed you.
Romans 8:1
Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
ABUNDANCE OF GRACE THROUGH CHRIST
Romans 5:17
For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive an abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ! ---
There are two points that need to be made clear here. One: this abundance of grace through Christ is for those who Receive Christ, not for those who deny Him. ---
Second: We who receive Christ Reign in Life through Him. To reign in life through Christ is to die daily, denying what our self wants and accepting obediently what God wants. Living the life victorious as we walk in the power of God's Holy Spirit! ---
Just know that both Grace and the Gift of Righteousness are for everyone. You just need to believe that Jesus Christ Is Lord. Repent of your sins to God, receive Christ into your hearts and pray the Holy Spirit into your lives.
I did and God changed my life.
CHRIST'S RIGHTEOUSNESS BRINGS JUSTIFICATION
Romans 5:18
So then, just as one trespass brought condemnation for all men, so also one act of righteousness brought justification and life for all men.
Isaiah 53:11
After the anguish of His soul, He will see the light of life and be satisfied. By His knowledge My righteous Servant will justify many, and He will bear their iniquities.
Romans 3:25
God presented Him as the atoning sacrifice through faith in His blood, in order to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance He had passed over the sins committed beforehand.
2 Corinthians 5:21
God made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.
THROUGH HIS OBEDIENCE
Romans 5:19
For just as through one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, so also through the one man's obedience the many will be made righteous.
2 Corinthians 5:21
For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
Philippians 2:8
He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death-- even to death on a cross.
GRACE INCREASED
Romans 5:20
But the Law came to increase and expand [the awareness of] the trespass [by defining and unmasking sin]. But where sin increased, [God’s remarkable, gracious gift of] grace [His unmerited favor] has surpassed it and increased all the more.
2 Corinthians 3:7-8
Now if the ministry of death, which was engraved in letters on stone, came with such glory that the Israelites could not gaze at the face of Moses because of its fleeting glory,
will not the ministry of the Spirit be even more glorious?
1 Timothy 1:14-15
And the grace of our Lord overflowed to me, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.
his is a trustworthy saying, worthy of full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the worst.
GRACE REIGNS THROUGH RIGHTEOUSNESS
Romans 5:21
So that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 8:9-11
You, however, are controlled not by the flesh, but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ.
But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, yet your spirit is alive because of righteousness.
And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit, who lives in you.
Romans 6:4
We were therefore buried with Him through baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may walk in newness of life.
John 10:28
And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
