—Romans 5:12-19
by: Judith Houts.
The failure of one person, Adam, brought damnation to all mankind; the righteousness of another, Jesus, brings the possibility of justification (Romans 3:23-24). It is good news that our sins have been wiped away and thrown in the deep waters of the sea (Micah 7:19), never again to be remembered. This is not a license to sin but a reason to rejoice. The forgiveness of our sins was not free, the maximum price was paid—death by crucifixion. Therefore, every time we commit a sin, let us repent and accept the forgiveness given to us through Jesus’ death. Let us take time to meditate on His love and compassion mixed with His blood that poured from the tree for us.
