But where sin increased, [God's remarkable, gracious gift of] grace [His unmerited favor] has surpassed it and increased all the more, so that, as sin reigned in death, so also grace would reign through righteousness which brings eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

What does Paul mean when he says the law came in to increase the trespass?

Here, Paul is summarizing this point again by showing the audience that when the law came it increased sin because it made people understand when they were sinning. If a child was never told that he could not take cookies from the jar, then taking those cookies would not be wrong.

What is the lesson learned from Romans 5 12 21?

Just as Adam is the head of a race of fallen people, Christ is the head of a race of redeemed people . Just as Adam's one sin brought death to all his descendants, so Christ's one act of obedience--going to the cross--brings righteousness and life to all who are in Him.

What is the application of Romans 5 12 21?

In Romans 5:12-21, it is explained by comparing Adam with Christ : Adam sinned and this was how death entered the world. However, it was not the law, but Christ who gave his life for this purpose eliminated what Adam did. Christ's death not only cancelled the harm caused by Adam's fall, but surpasses it by far.

What is 2nd Corinthians 5 21 Amplified Classic?

Previously, Paul has written that one result of Adam's devastating sin was that death came to reign over the lives of humanity (Romans 5:17). Now he writes that death's reign was, in truth, the reign and rule of sin. Sin brings death. Human beings cannot escape our own sin nature no matter how badly we want to. In ourselves, without God's intervention, we will always continue to sin. It rules over us, and it leads to death.

However, Paul has just written that as sin increases, God's grace increases even more. In other words, sin cannot grow past God's capacity to give good to those who deserve His angry judgment instead. Paul concludes that God's grace is the greater ruler. It reigns over sin and death. How? He declares righteous all of us sinners who, by faith, receive his grace-gift of Jesus' death for our sin on the cross.

With death defeated, those who are in Christ will live forever. Grace reigns through righteousness leading to eternal life. But this eternal life is found only through Jesus Christ our Lord. There is no other way to escape the reign of sin and death.

Starting with the next verse, Paul will counter a common and unfortunate response to this idea of abundant grace. Some see God's grace as a license to sin, which is not what God intended, nor what Paul is teaching. The overflowing mercy of God is not a reason to sin, just so that His grace can increase.
