Romans 5;15&16
15.  But the free gift is not like the trespass.  For if many died through one man’s trespass, much more have the grace of God and the free gift in the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for many.16.  And the free gift is not like the effect of that one man’s sin.  For the judgment following one trespass brought condemnation, but the free gift following many trespasses brings justification.
The consequences for Adam’s one sin of rebellion was death to Adam, and the inherited sin nature and death  to all Adam’s descendants.
The consequence after the many transgressions of mankind was the free gift of newness of Life through the one man Jesus Christ.

“For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”  (Romans 6;23)

The “Grace of God” is mercy to guilty sinners.  This makes no sense to rational man, but it is the will of God that His mercy and kindness be shown and know through the taking of our justly deserved punishment upon Himself in the person of Jesus Christ.  
The law condemning sin had to be carried out. “The wages of sin is death.”  That cannot be changed.But, Christ interposed Himself between us and the consequence of the law.  
Adam is a type of Christ, but he cannot reveal to us the depth of God’s love.  Only Christ’s sacrificial, innocent, atonement rightly shows us the full extent of the grace of God for us.

Note: A “trespass” is a departure out of the path of righteousness.  All sin is rebellion, it is being where we have been forbidden to be, the ground of death.  God’s will is not to deprive us of life, joy, peace, and fruitfulness, but to save us from the death of rebellion.  There is no life, joy, peace, or fruitfulness apart from the will of our Father.  It is Satan’s work and the deceitfulness of this world and our own wicked passions and desires which tempt us to trespass out of our loving Father’s will, by both acts of commission AND omission.

Prayer:  Merciful Father, bless us to see all temptation to sin as chocolate covered death.  Rebellious trespasses appear delicious, but kill both body and soul.  Have mercy Father and make us wise to walk always in the paths of righteousness with Jesus, dead to sin and (“much more”) alive to You.  In Jesus we pray, Amen.
Love,Dad/Baba/Eric/Grandpa Pickle Pastor“A chapter a day, every day, progressively, be transformed, ‘soak’ in the living Word.  God’s Word is our habitation, and we, broken-hearted, contrite, forgiven children are His.”
