Death in Adam Life in Christ

Romans 5:12-17 (NKJV) 12 Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned— 13 (For until the law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law. 14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who had not sinned according to the likeness of the transgression of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come. 15 But the free gift is not like the offense. For if by the one man’s offense many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many. 16 And the gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned. For the judgment which came from one offense resulted in condemnation, but the free gift which came from many offenses resulted in justification. 17 For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.)
OK what I desire all to understand completely without any doubt is verse 17 For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.
Death is here because of Adam’s sin [verse 12] so it spread to all men because ALL have sinned, According to Romans 3:23 and we see in Romans 3:10 there is none righteous. However here in Romans 5:17 we see that through Jesus’ death We are to REIGN in life. Because of Jesus Christ we receive ABUNDANCE of GRACE and THE GIFT of RIGHTEOUSNESS. So death in Adam life in Christ
We need to STOP letting the enemy REIGN [the period of time during which someone is in charge] in our lives. The enemy only has what one allows him to have. He has no power over anyone unless one unlocks the door and lets him in. In some cases the door is thrown wide open and in some cases it is just cracked open. In any case if it is OPEN [not closed tight and locked] he will walk right in.
We have been given an ABUNDANCE [an ample quantity] of GRACE [unmerited divine assistance given humans for their regeneration or sanctification a virtue coming from God a state of sanctification enjoyed through divine grace]. Then on top of that we have the GIFT of RIGHTEOUSNESS [free from guilt or sin]. I will say it again because of what Jesus did we are FREE FROM GUILT OR SIN.
So let me see here we have an ample quantity of unmerited divine assistance and sanctification from God as well as we are FREE from guilt or sin. Now this is a REAL CHRISTIAN it is there we received it when we accept Jesus Christ according to Romans 10:9-10 (NKJV) 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
So this is what should have happened if one did what we are supposed to do. We confess with our mouth, I say we openly say I accept Jesus Christ as my SAVIOR by his death and resurrection I am set free from all my sins past, present, and future because I BELIEVE IN MY HEART that God has raised Him. In ones HEART not in the BRAIN we need them both however SALVATION starts in the heart if the heart is not open to this then it ain’t going to happen. Head knowledge combined with one’s heart is unstoppable. There is no I hope, there is not maybe, nor I think, again the most famous, the most powerful word that ever came out of Jesus’ mouth takes over in our lives “IT IS FINISHED”, [Having reached the end of an activity, job, etc. Not requiring more work entirely done or completed.]
So let us start living the life God has planned for us. Stop trying to change it or do what we think he desires us to do or be. “Let Go and Let God” Is God in total control of your life? It is time to let go of all the junk and start being what God has called you to be. There is no weaklings in God Army we are all DAVIDS. The enemy knows it and honestly is scared [ thrown into or being in a state of fear, fright, or panic] of you understanding and knowing what God has done for you so he is working hard to make you not to believe it. STOP listening to a loser and START listening to the Holy Spirit.
