We Can Reign in Life

But the gift is not like the trespass. For if by the one man’s trespass the many died, how much more have the grace of God and the gift overflowed to the many by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ. And the gift is not like the one man’s sin, because from one sin came the judgment, resulting in condemnation, but from many trespasses came the gift, resulting in justification. Since by the one man’s trespass, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive the overflow of grace and the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ.
(Romans 5:15-17 HCSB ©®)

From Adam’s failure, death became the judgment on his descendants. Death has reigned.

Death was confronted and overpowered by grace when Jesus didn’t fail. That grace has overflowed to us as the power to reign in our lives. We are empowered to reign in life.

Show us how to walk in that truth, Lord Jesus. You made it available, so finish the work in us to make it possible and successful! Thank You for it!
