Through One Man, Life was Given – Romans 5:17
For if, because of one man’s trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ. – Romans 5:17
From one man, sin was transmitted to all, marking the sin of arrogance and disobedience. The weight of this curse rested upon every individual, with no escape.
However, through another man, righteousness was bestowed upon humanity. All were granted salvation from the eternal curse through Christ. His death became the means through which all could be saved, altering the destiny of humankind entirely. Yet, despite this profound love, many struggle to accept it fully, remaining in spiritual darkness.
We are those who have awakened to the truth of salvation, tasked with spreading the gospel. Let us therefore seek strength from the Holy Spirit, walk in companionship with the Lord, and share this truth with everyone. May we invite our brothers and sisters to partake in the Easter joy together.
As Holy Week commences, let us bear the cross alongside the Lord, obedient even unto death for the sake of love. And together, let us rise into new life!
