Grace Abounds in the Descent

Romans 5:12-21

Rev. Barrett Owen

When we take the Path of Descent seriously, we see a theological truth that surpasses understanding: Grace. Like Adam who came into the world and introduced sin . . . Jesus came into the world and introduced grace. Scripture says, “But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died through the one man’s trespass, much more surely have the grace of God and the gift in the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abounded for the many.” In other words, when we move towards Christ, grace abounds.
