In the episode of Faith Comes by Hearing, Dr. Larson establishes a profound theological comparison between the first man, Adam, and Jesus Christ. Adam's single act of disobedience brought sin and condemnation, resulting in death reigning over all humanity. In stark contrast, Christ's single righteous act brings an overwhelming abundance of grace, justification, and the "gift of righteousness."  God's grace through Christ not only nullifies the effects of Adam's sin but far surpasses it, causing those who receive it to "reign in life."
