JUSTIFICATION THAT BRINGS LIFE FOR ALL MEN / ROMANS 5:18

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Romans 5:18

Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.

JUSTIFICATION THAT BRINGS LIFE FOR ALL MEN / ROMANS 5:18

The condemning judgment that resulted from sin, affecting all people, becomes a reality for each individual as he or she rejects God and His revelation written in their hearts (through their conscience) or revealed in His written Word (Romans 2:12-16). In the same way, spiritual salvation – the “justification that brings life” – is available to all people. But to become an effective reality, God’s gracious gift of life must be received by faith in Jesus Christ (Romans 5:17).

HOW MUCH MORE DID GOD’S GRACE / ROMANS 5:15

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Romans 5:15

 But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.

HOW MUCH MORE DID GOD’S GRACE / ROMANS 5:15

In Romans 5:12-21 Paul stresses the supreme and complete effectiveness of the spiritual salvation and restoration provided by Jesus Christ to undo the effects of humankind’s sin and rebellion against God. This is the real point of the passage: Adam brought sin and death; Christ brought grace and life (Romans 5:17). If human sin could cause that much death and destruction, how much more can God’s salvation provide life and restoration.

DEATH REIGNED FROM THE TIME OF ADAM TO THE TIME OF MOSES / ROMANS 5:14

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Romans 5:14

Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam’s transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.

DEATH REIGNED FROM THE TIME OF ADAM TO THE TIME OF MOSES / ROMANS 5:14

Before God ever gave His written law through Moses, the human race experienced death and separation from God. This was not because they disobeyed God’s spoken law (His direct command) with its death penalty, as did Adam (Romans 5:13-14: Genesis 2:17). Instead, it was because they were sinners by their own actions as well as by human nature, violating the law of conscience – their inner sense of right and wrong – that was written in their minds and hearts (Romans 2:14-15).

SIN ENTERED THE WORLD THROUGH ONE MAN / ROMANS 5:12

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Romans 5:12  

Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:

SIN ENTERED THE WORLD THROUGH ONE MAN / ROMANS 5:12

The first man, Adam, gave in to temptation and disobeyed God’s direct command. Therefore, sin, or rebellion against God, as an active principle or power gained entrance into the human race (Romans 5:17, 19; Genesis 3; 1 Corinthians 15:21-22).

  1. Two results followed: (a) Sin and corruption entered Adam’s heart and life and became part of his being. (b) Adam then passed on sin into the life-stream of the human race, corrupting all people from then on. All humans are now born into the world with an impulse and pull toward sin and evil; it is now part of our nature (Romans 5:19; 1:21; 7:24; Genesis 6:5; Genesis 6:12; Genesis 8:21; Psalms 14:1-3; Jeremiah 17:9; Mark 7:21-22; 1 Corinthians 2:14; Galatians 5:19-21; Galatians 5:21; Ephesians 2:1-3; Colossians 1:21; 1 John 5:19).
  2. Paul does not explain exactly how Adam’s sin is passed on to his descendants. Nor does he say that all people were present in Adam and that somehow, we all participated in his sin and inherited his guilt. Nowhere does Paul say that Adam was the representative head of his descendants (the human race) and that his sin was charged to all humanity. The fact is that all people follow their own sinful desires and go their own God-defying way. As a result, we all are guilty before God because of our own personal sin. The only teaching supported by the Bible is that men and women inherit a moral corruption and a strong pull toward sin and evil (Romans 6:1).
  3. Death entered the world through sin, and now all people are subject to death “because all sinned” (Romans 5:12, 14; 3:23; Genesis 2:17; 3:19). Both the immediate and final consequence of Adam’s original sin was spiritual death, which is separation from God.

WE WERE GOD’S ENEMIES – SAVED THROUGH HIS LIFE ROMANS 5:10

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Romans 5:10

For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

WE WERE GOD’S ENEMIES – SAVED THROUGH HIS LIFE ROMANS 5:10

WE WERE GOD’S ENEMIES

Man is the enemy of God, not the reverse. People have offended God with their sin; yet He is the One who provided the way to end the hostility and reunite us with Himself. He did the through the sin-forgiving sacrifice of His Son, Jesus (Romans 5:11; Colossians 1:21-22).

SAVED THROUGH HIS LIFE

Accepting God’s gracious gift of forgiveness, made available through Jesus’ personal sacrifice, is the first step of spiritual salvation (Romans 3:21-26; Romans 3:21; Romans 3:22; Romans 3:24; Romans 3:25; Romans 4:5-9; Romans 4:5). It is the point at which we begin to walk the path of personal companionship with Christ toward the destination of eternal life with Him. We continue to be saved as we live by faith and obedience of Christ. If God loved us enough to send His Son to die for us while we were His enemies (Romans 5:8), how much more, now that we are His children, will He make every provision to preserve our relationship with Him as we continue to live by faith. If we are forgiven and made right with God through Jesus’ sacrificial death, how much more does His resurrection from the dead guarantee our salvation and eternal life with God (Romans 4:22-5:2; 5:9-10; 1 Corinthians 1:30; Philippians 2:12-16; Colossians 3:3-4; 1 Thessalonians 1:10; 2 Timothy 2:12; James 1:12; Revelation 2:7).

HOPE DOES NOT DISAPPOINT / ROMANS 5:5

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Romans 5:5

And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

HOPE DOES NOT DISAPPOINT / ROMANS 5:5

HOPE DOES NOT DISAPPOINT

The word translated as “hope” (Greek elpis) is different than the typical meaning we connect with the word today. Hope usually means looking toward something that might happen, depending on certain circumstances. But true Biblical “hope” is not wishful thinking about something good that might happen in the future. It is a confidence from God concerning His promises, which makes it sure and leaves no room for doubt, because it is based on God’s Word. We will experience the reality of this hope because God is “the God of hope”, which means that He Himself is the object and assurance of our hope.

GOD HAS POURED OUT HIS LOVE INTO OUR HEARTS

Christians experience the love of God through the Holy Spirit, especially in times of trouble. The tense of the verb “poured out” expresses an existing condition based on a prior action. We have received God’s love, and the Spirit continues to flood our hearts with love. It is this ever-present experience of God’s love that encourages and holds us secure in sufferings (Romans 5:3) and assures us that our hope for future glory is not a wishful imagination (Romans 5:4-5). Christ’s return for us is certain (Romans 8:17; Psalms 22:4-5; John 14:3).

WE ALSO REJOICE IN OUR SUFFERINGS / ROMANS 5:3

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Romans 5:3

And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;

WE ALSO REJOICE IN OUR SUFFERINGS / ROMANS 5:3

Paul lists “sufferings” as one of the blessings of our salvation and renewed relationship with God through Christ.

  1. The word “sufferings” refers to all kinds of troubles and difficulties that may affect our lives. This includes such things as the pressures of school or jobs, family situations, financial or physical needs, tragic circumstances, sorrow, sickness, persecution, mistreatment or loneliness.
  2. In the middle of these troubles, God assures us of His presence, enables us to depend on Him and helps us grow closer to Him. Through tough times we also gain strength and maturity (James 1:3-4; James 1:4) that help us to overcome other difficulties in life. Instead of driving us to despair, suffering produces perseverance (Romans 5:3), perseverance produces character (Romans 5:4), and proven character results in a mature hope – a hope that looks to the future with God and that will not disappoint (Romans 5:5).
  3. God’s grace lets us look beyond our present problems to find hope in our relationship with God. In the end, that hope is focused on the certainty of Jesus’ return to rescue His people from this evil world and to establish His reign with them in the new heaven and new earth (1 Thessalonians 4:13; Revelation 19 – 22). But in this waiting time, “God has poured out His love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit” (Romans 5:5) to comfort us in our troubles and bring Christ’s presence near (John 14:16-23; John 1416).

THEREFORE, SINCE WE HAVE BEEN JUSTIFIED / ROMANS 5:1

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Romans 5:1

Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

THEREFORE, SINCE WE HAVE BEEN JUSTIFIED / ROMANS 5:1

Justification through faith brings the believer various results: a renewed relationship with God, peace with God, grace (Romans 4:16), hope, assurance, sufferings, the love of God, the presence of Holy Spirit, freedom from God’s wrath and punishment, continual access to God’s presence through Christ and joy in our relationship with God (Romans 5:1-11).

LEADS TO PEACE / ROMANS 14:19-21

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Romans 14:19-21

Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.

20 For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.

21 It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.

LEADS TO PEACE / ROMANS 14:19-21

Believers should put forth every effort to edify or lift up other believers at all times. The food served at a meal could be offensive to some who hold to a ceremonial law. Paul discusses this issue again in 1 Corinthians 8. A Christian who loves his brother will personally avoid what may cause another person to be led into sin and “to fall.”

NOT A MATTER OF EATING OR DRINKING / ROMANS 14:17-18

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Romans 14:17-18

For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

18 For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men.

NOT A MATTER OF EATING OR DRINKING / ROMANS 14:17-18

Being overly concerned with trivial matters is to miss the primary purpose of God’s kingdom and the true meaning of Christian living. But notice that the issues addressed in this passage deal mainly with outward or physical issues such as eating or observing certain days. Often, such passages dealing with Christian freedom and liberty (1 Corinthians 8-10) are taken out of context to justify behavior that can bring harm to the mind and spirit. Food goes in and out of the body and has little, if anything, to do with spiritual matters. However, when people try to apply this principle of liberty and non-judgment to morally questionable activities and behaviors that actually do affect the mind and spirit, they are seriously missing the point (Colossians2:20, 23). For example, certain forms of entertainment are often presented as matters of personal choice and conscience and is some cases that may be true. But such activities do not necessarily fit into the same category as those described in these passages. Many types of entertainment contain sexually suggestive images, obscene language, and crude humor, which affect the mind and the spirit. God’s Word addresses these issues in an entirely different fashion than those things that go in and out of the body that do not affect the mind or spirit (Ephesians 5:3-7; Colossians 3:5). Exposing ourselves to these types of entertainment can be destructive spiritually because the images and language go into the mind, corrupt the spirit, and can affect behavior in a negative way. This behavior gives approval to ungodly conduct and can easily mislead others who look to us for an example of acceptable Christian conduct. Again, Paul’s strongest warning is to the person whose faith and conscience allow him or her to take greater liberty in their actions – “Blessed is the man who does not condemn himself be what he approves” (Romans 14:22; 1 Corinthians 8-10)
