Romans 5:12 - 21 (Part 2)
RomansSteve Gregg
The debate on the concept of inherited sin among Christians is discussed in this passage from Romans 5:12-21. While some believe in a sinful nature passed down from Adam, others follow the Augustinian view that all humans are born guilty for Adam's sin. The passage emphasizes differences between Adam's selfish motive for sinning and Christ's gracious act of salvation, and through personification, Paul presents a drama where grace ultimately overcomes and abounds. The need to live in righteousness and not as slaves to sin is also emphasized, and the passage concludes with the idea that through Christ's sacrifice, we are made righteous and victorious over sin and death.
