But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God’s grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many!
I can still feel the death of sin in my body. In my mind. In my heart. In a few more days, I'll agree with Paul's cry, 'wretched man that I am', but for now, this passage gave me great comfort.
I am a sinful man. My passions and pride cause war and division in my heart, my home, in all my relationships. But Jesus has given me the gift of life. I have been made righteous through his obedience. I have received reconciliation to my creator.
My prayer this morning is that I would live as a reconciled child, and that the news of this reconciliation would go forth to all people.
