the purpose of the law in relation to sin
The results of being justified
The results of being justified
1 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
2 through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
3 And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance;
4 and perseverance, character; and character, hope.
5 Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
We have peace with God
this is the result of the reconciliatory work of Christ (later)
peace results in “access” or “opportunity of admittance”
We have access into this grace by faith
in other words, we are admitted or welcomed into this grace
11 according to the eternal purpose which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord,
12 in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through faith in Him.
We rejoice in hope of the glory of God
we look forward to being with God in glory
We glory (boast) in tribulation
we see tribulation in a different p[erspective -
not as a burden or trouble to escape
buty as a steppingstone, a means to estalish and strengten our hope
[continuing…]
Paul explains why we have the above things after being justified...
6 For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die.
8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
9 Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.
10 For if when 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.
11 And not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.
Christ’s death
Jesus died for us while we were yet sinners!
His death was a demonstration of God’s love
His death reconciled us to God
Reconciliation - the act of re-establishing of friendly relationship, especially after disagreement or enmity
is another result of justification by faith
a sinner is reconciled with God when he/she believes the saving work of Christ on the cross
18 Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation,
19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.
20 Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God.
21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
in other words - His death resolved the issue of our being sinners
Christ’s life
His life - means His glorious resurrection
His life saves us from the wrath of God reserved for sinners on judgment day
Adam and Christ Compared and Contrasted
Adam and Christ Compared and Contrasted
11 And not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.
12 Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned—
13 (For until the law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who had not sinned according to the likeness of the transgression of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come.
15 But the free gift is not like the offense. For if by the one man’s offense many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many.
16 And the gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned. For the judgment which came from one offense resulted in condemnation, but the free gift which came from many offenses resulted in justification.
17 For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.)
The effects of Adam’s sin/offense
sin entered the world
death entered the world through sin
all sinned
Note - verses 13-17 is in parenthesis, and is an explanation of “how all sinned”
from Adam to Moses, sin reigned even though the law was not yet given
Adam was a type of Christ, but there acts were unlike each other
the actions of both men affected everyone
Adam’s action resulted in concemndation fro everyone
Christ’s action results in justification
[continuing…]
18 Therefore, as through one man’s offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one Man’s righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life.
19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous.
Adam’s offense resulted in judgment/condemnation
but Christ’s “righteous act” resulted in justification of life
Adam’s disobedience (his offense) made many “sinners”
but Christ’s obedience (His righteous act) will make many righteous
Note -
a sinner is one who has disobeyed God’s will
a righteous is one who obeys God’s will
but because sin has corrupted man so much, it takes the power of the blood to make us righteous “first” (by the righteous act of Christ, which we believe) before man can start to obey God’s will and become righteous in His sight.
The purpose of the law in relation to sin
The purpose of the law in relation to sin
20 Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more,
21 so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
The law made the offense “abound”
by showing God’s righteousness, -
the law exposed the presence of sin/offenses
the law enlightened man about the corrupting and enslaving power of sin
19 What purpose then does the law serve? It was added because of transgressions, till the Seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was appointed through angels by the hand of a mediator. 20 Now a mediator does not mediate for one only, but God is one.
21 Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not! For if there had been a law given which could have given life, truly righteousness would have been by the law. 22 But the Scripture has confined all under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. 23 But before faith came, we were kept under guard by the law, kept for the faith which would afterward be revealed. 24 Therefore the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. 25 But after faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.
But the grace of God abounds much more -
although sin reigned in death
so grace wwill reign through righteousness, leading to eternal life
