TOPIC: Get it from Adam and Christ

OPENING PRAYER: Grant me depth of insight, revelation and knowledge as I meditate on this passage, O Lord.

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY: Romans 5:12 – 21

Question(s) for Reflection
• Q 7: What truth is God revealing to me in this passage?

In my Shona culture, if a person killed someone, the whole extended family is tarnished and would become liable to pay compensation for the sin of their family member. Thus, a bad deed soils the whole tribe as much as a good deed benefits the whole tribe. Paul uses a contrast between Adam and Christ much in the same way.

The disobedience of Adam in the Garden of Eden affected all humanity (Genesis 3:17-19), so that all people are born in sin (Psalm 51:5; Romans 3:23). For that reason, we all fall short of the glory of God. Adam as our ancestor sinned and caused all of us to be tainted and unsuitable to live in the presence of God.

But as Adam was our representative in sin, we are justified through Jesus Christ’s death on the cross, who reconciles us with God. Go through vs.15-19 again and identify the consequences of Adam’s disobedience and Jesus’ obedience on humanity. All who believe in Jesus Christ become righteous through faith in Jesus Christ. So, we who are born sinners through Adam receive forgiveness through the death of Christ on the cross. This is given to us totally freely. Why not grab the chance and run to Jesus Christ now?

Practice/Word Application
Thought: Nothing will snatch you from Jesus Christ’s hand (Romans 8:35-39). Thank God for this.

HYMN: God, Give Us Christian Homes

Homes where the father is true and strong,
Homes that are free from the blight of wrong,
Homes that are joyous with love and song;

God, give us Christian homes!

3. God, give us Christian homes!
Homes where the mother, in caring quest,
Strives to show others Your way is best,
Homes where the Lord is an honored guest;
God, give us Christian homes;
God, give us Christian homes!

4. God, give us Christian homes!
Homes where the children are led to know
Christ in His beauty who loves them so,
Homes where the altar fires burn and glow;
God, give us Christian homes;
God, give us Christian homes!
