We pick up our study of Paul's letter to the believers in Rome with Romans 5:12-21. If you've ever heard someone refer to Jesus as the second Adam, this is the reference they are making. This is a great lesson in Christian theology, but what I hope you see most clearly is the depth of God's grace that it explains. For context, consider this from verse 8, "God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."
