Romans 5: Death Through Adam, Life Through Christ pt 1

¹²Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned— ¹³for sin indeed was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not counted where there is no law. ¹⁴Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sinning was not like the transgression of Adam, who was a type of the one who was to come.

• Death comes from sin
• Because we are all sinners death is upon us
• Before there was any law sin was here
• sin is not taken into account when there is no law
• Death was reigned from Adams time to moses
• even though no one had broken any laws refers to 1Cor15:45 The resurrection of the dead

⁴⁵Thus it is written, "The first man Adam became a living being";the last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

• the one who was to come was a life-giving spirit
• so Through Adam there is death
• since Jesus was born into this world he became the second( the last) part of him... the life giving spirit
• so through Christ there is life
