Notas do Editor
- When reading, notice that the text from verse 13 to verse 17 is in a bracket (like this!) which shows that what is said in verse 12 is continued in verse 18. The part in brackets is included to explain what is being said. Adam’s sin is called an “offence” because, although the Law (10 commandments) did not come until much later, he disobeyed God’s specific commandment about the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden. This shows that sin is not just breaking the commandments. It also shows that the consequences of sin do not just come because of a broken commandment.
- Just as the action of Adam in disobeying God had consequences for all his children - he is regarded by God as their representative, so the action of Christ in obeying God had consequences for all who are in him by faith – God regards Christ as their representative.It is important to see that all of this is outside of Law – Adam’s children were sinners under judgment apart from Law, and God’s children in Christ are also justified apart from Law. This is the reason these verses are included.
- If we think about this carefully, we will see that the cause of salvation was God Himself. Paul tells us that it was the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ (Who is God) that caused the grace of God to overflow. Salvation comes only because of the love and grace of God.
- This is a very wonderful fact – JUST ONE SIN brought condemnation upon the whole human race, but even though the offences are many, in God’s grace the one who believes in Jesus can be justified. God’s grace is far greater than sin!
- The power of death rules all who are in their sins. They are spiritually dead (dead to God) and will receive the punishment of their sins which is eternal death in the lake of fire. Their physical lives are full of things which displease God.By contrast, those who have received God’s grace and the gift of the Righteousness of God by faith can and will reign triumphantly in this life, having victory over sin, and in the next.
- We say already that Cain did not break any law when he murdered his brother, so although he was a sinner, he was not actually a law-breaker.However we say a few weeks ago that not only was David a sinner when he murdered Uriah, but he was also a law-breaker, because the commandment said “You shall not Murder.”Although Cain might have tried to argue that he did not know it was wrong to kill his brother, David could definitely not argue that. The law was very clear. In this way the grace of God is magnified, because it overflows to people who have no excuse – people who know that sin is wrong because the law tells them so. God does not only show grace to people who don’t know their sin, but even to those who deliberately break the law, if they repent and turn to Him.
