Romans 5:12 - 21 (Part 1)

RomansSteve Gregg
The passage of Romans 5:12-21 reflects on the impact of Adam and Christ on humanity. While theologians have debated the theological nuances of this passage, the practical takeaway is to emulate Christ and understand Paul's message. Paul's theology distinguishes between old and new humanity, with the corporate identity of Adam leading to death and the corporate identity of Christ leading to life. While Augustine's doctrine of infant guilt and original sin is not a tenet of Paul's theology, personal responsibility and accountability for sin is emphasized, and access to eternal life is conditional on accepting Jesus Christ as the second Adam.
