Romans 5:1-21 WEEK 4 THE REPRESENTATIVE WORK OF ADAM AND CHRIST ROMANS 5:1-21 1 THE REPRESENTATIVE WORK OF ADAM AND CHRIST ROMANS 5:1-21 ○ 5:1-11 – Some of the blessings resulting from justification by faith. ○ Three realities that justification brings: ● 5:1 – Believers have peace with God ● 5:2 – Believers have access to grace in which we stand ● 5:2 – Believers rejoice in their hope of sharing in God’s glory. ○ 5:3-5 – Believers rejoice in their suffering. (I Thessalonians 5:16-18, Philippians 4:4, Habakkuk 3:17,18) ● Positive results to suffering -> Perseverance -> Character - > Hope ○ It is when we suffer that we discover what we are really 2 trusting in – ourselves or God. THE REPRESENTATIVE WORK OF ADAM AND CHRIST ROMANS 5:1-21 ○ 5:6-11 – Believers are assured of final salvation ○ 5:8 – The single action that proves God loves us – Christ chose, by the will of the Father, to die for us. ○ You can know objectively and beyond all doubt that God loves us, even if your feelings or the appearance of your life circumstances might be prompting you to wonder. ○ Paul tells us that our salvation is secure ● If Jesus stayed on the cross and saved us while we were God’s enemies, then how much more will He keep us saved now that we are His friends. ● If Jesus secured our salvation when He was dead, how much more will He keep us saved when He is alive. 3 THE REPRESENTATIVE WORK OF ADAM AND CHRIST ROMANS 5:1-21 ○ 5:12-21 – The saving work of Christ contrasted with the condemning work of Adam ○ 5:12-14 – Adam brought sin and death upon all men ○ Three stage chain reaction: 1. Sin entered the world through one man 2. Death entered the world because of sin 3. Death spread to all human beings because all have sinned 4 THE REPRESENTATIVE WORK OF ADAM AND CHRIST ROMANS 5:1-21 ○ 5:12 – Sin came into the world through the first man Adam, and death, which is the result of sin, spread to all men because all men sinned in Adam. ● 5:13 – Since sin is the violation of law, there can be no sin apart from the breaking of a law. ● 5:14 – Since death reigned over all who lived from Adam to Moses, all were counted guilty as the result of the violation of some law. This can’t be the 10 Commandments or the law written on the heart ● All were constituted sinners and treated as guilty because of Adam’s one sin, which was imputed to 5 them. THE REPRESENTATIVE WORK OF ADAM AND CHRIST ROMANS 5:1-21 ○ The idea that Adam’s sin was imputed to us is repeatedly emphasized in verses 15-19: ● 5:15 – Many died through one man’s trespass ● 5:16 – The judgement following one trespass brought condemnation ● 5:17 – Because of one man’s trespass, death reigned through that one man ● 5:18 – One man’s trespass led to condemnation for all men ● 5:19 – By one man’s disobedience many were made sinners. ○ Bottom line: All men are guilty as the result of one man’s sin. 6 THE REPRESENTATIVE WORK OF ADAM AND CHRIST ROMANS 5:1-21 ○ 5:15-17 – Paul shows one outstanding respect in which the two are not parallel. ● Christ did much more for His people than just to remove the imputed guilt of Adam’s one sin; He also made complete satisfaction for all of their personal sins and imputes to them perfect righteousness as a free gift. ○ 5:18-19 – The comparison is resumed ○ Contrasts between Adam and Jesus: ● The motivation at the heart of each deed was different ● The results of the two deeds was opposite ● The power of the two is different 7 THE REPRESENTATIVE WORK OF ADAM AND CHRIST ROMANS 5:1-21 ○ 5:20-21 – The Law was added, increasing sin but, where sin increased, God’s grace abounded all the more by bringing righteousness and life through Jesus Christ. ○ Teaching the law proves it is not a lack of knowledge which prevents us from obeying God and keeping His standards, but rather, lack of willingness and ability. 8 THE REPRESENTATIVE WORK OF ADAM AND CHRIST ROMANS 5:1-21 ○ 5:12-21 – Paul compares the saving work of Christ to the condemning work of Adam. ○ Just as the race was lost through the representative act of the “first” Adam, believers are saved through the representative act of the “last” Adam. ○ Adam served as the legal head of the human race. When he sinned, his sin was imputed to all men just as if they had personally committed the sin. ○ Christ obedience resulted in a perfect righteousness which is imputed to all who believe in Him. ○ God views all humanity as under one of two heads, either Adam or Christ. One brings death, the other brings life.9 Two Men The first Adam – vs 12 The last Adam – Christ – Vs 14 Two Acts One trespass, one man’s sin, One Man’s act of righteousness, One man’s disobedience One Man’s obedience Vss. 15,16,17,18,19 Vss. 18,19 Two Results Sin, death, judgement, Free Gift, grace, righteousness, Condemnation Life, justification, acquittal.

We endure afflictions with patience. Instead of making us distrustful of our heavenly Father, they afford us new proofs of His love, and strengthen our hope of His mercy. And we shall have, also, more or less of the assurance of God’s love, by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. - Commentary on the Epistle to the Romans, Charles Hodge, Page 141 13 PRACTICAL LESSONS FROM ROMANS 5:1-21 ○ 5:1,2 – “Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God . access by faith . and we exult in the hope of the glory of God.” This implies that with respect to believers, past sins are forgiven, present access to the throne of grace is assured, and future glory is guaranteed. - New Testament Commentary, Romans, William Hendriksen, Page 188 14 PRACTICAL LESSONS FROM ROMANS 5:1-21 ○ 5:6-8 – “Christ died for the ungodly. Now a man will scarcely die for a righteous person … But God demonstrates His own love for us in this, that while we were still sinners Christ died for us.” Paul is amazed by his reflection on such love. It is as if he were saying, “Just think of it: God loves the unlovable! Why, even for a righteous person one would hardly want to die. But Christ died for the unrighteous, the ungodly!” – New Testament Commentary, Romans, William Hendriksen, Page 189 15 PRACTICAL LESSONS FROM ROMANS 5:1-21 ○ 5:8-10 - Assurance of the love of God never produces self-complacency or pride; but always humility, self-abasement, wonder, gratitude, and praise. The believer sees that the mysterious fountain of this love is in the divine mind; it is not in himself, who is ungodly and a sinner. - Commentary on the Epistle to the Romans, Charles Hodge, Page 142 16 PRACTICAL LESSONS FROM ROMANS 5:1-21 ○ 5:12 – We should never yield to temptation on the ground that the sin to which we are solicited appears to be a trifle (merely eating a forbidden fruit), or that it is but for once. Remember that one offence of one man. How often has a man, or a family, been ruined forever by one sin! - Commentary on the Epistle to the Romans, Charles Hodge, Page 141 17 PRACTICAL LESSONS FROM ROMANS 5:1-21 ○ 5:17 – Those that perish, perish not because the sin of Adam has brought them under condemnation; nor because no adequate provision has been made for their recovery; but because they will not receive the offered mercy. - Commentary on the Epistle to the Romans, Charles Hodge, Page 190 18 PRACTICAL LESSONS FROM ROMANS 5:1-21 ○ 5:15-21 – Grace is ever far more effective than sin. “Where sin increased, grace increased all the more.” Did grace merely offset sin and death, so that mankind returned to the state of innocence, that of Adam before the fall? On the contrary, grace changed death into a gain, substituted righteousness for sin, and everlasting life for death. All this “through Jesus Christ our Lord”. 19.

The opening chapter may be thought of as a trial, where God is the judge and sinful humans are the accused. I. THE COURT RECORDER (1:1-17): Here Paul, author of Romans, provides his readers with some pretrial introductory material. A. His credentials (1:1, 5): Paul relates four facts about himself. 1. He is a servant of Jesus (1:1a). 2. He is an apostle (1:1b). 3. He has been set apart to preach the gospel (1:1c). 4. He is a missionary to the Gentiles (1:5). B. His Christ (1:2-4) 1.

  • Does Romans 5:18 Mean That Everyone Is Saved?
    Wordofhisgrace.org Bible Q&A Q. Romans 5:18 says that by Christ's one act of righteousness, all men were justified. Does this mean that everyone is saved? A. In Romans 5:18, Paul is comparing the result of Adam's sin to the result of Jesus' atonement: "So then as through one trespass, all men were condemned; even so through one act of righteousness, all men were justified to life" ( World English Bible , WEB—used throughout unless otherwise noted). This verse is often cited by Universalists to support their belief that all humans will be saved. Certainly, taken by itself, it does indeed sound like Paul is teaching that, because of what Jesus has done, everyone has been justified and will receive eternal life. But is this the conclusion we will reach when we examine the verse in context? What is Paul saying in Romans 5:18? The Context Leading up to Romans 5:18 The first Christians in Rome were probably Jewish. Possibly, they were among the Jews from various parts of the empire who heard Peter speak on the day of Pentecost as recorded in Acts 2. From the issues addressed by Paul in Romans, we can conclude that, like many Jewish Christians, they had trouble fully comprehending Jesus' fulfilling and ending of the law. The Christian community in Rome apparently carried on with many Jewish practices, such as believing in the necessity—or at least the superiority—of circumcision, the keeping of days, and adherence to dietary laws. Gentile Christians, who had never been under the Old Testament law, also eventually came into the assembly in Rome, but they were dominated by the more numerous Jews.

  • ROMANS 5-8 BIBLE STUDY Chapter 5
    Tony Anderson Pastor of Counseling ROMANS 5-8 BIBLE STUDY Chapter 5 Note that some of the commentary and explanation below is adopted from The Christian Counselor’s Commentary by Jay E. Adams. Day 1 (Romans 5:1-5) 1. From Verse 1, how do you have “peace with God”? 2. Peace with God means those who are saved are no longer enemies of God. If you are saved, write down your thoughts about once being an enemy of God and now being at peace with God as a result of the work of Jesus. 3. Peace (shalom) is a condition of prosperity, joy and contentment. Jay Adams points out that because of the sin of others and our own sin, peace in this world is never complete. Therefore, in this world the path to greater peace is growing in love for God and love for others. Fundamentally, peace comes as a result of pleasing God—it is a by-product. So although peace may be a desirable biblical goal and motive for service, our primary motive must be to please God. Where in your life have you made seeking peace more important than pleasing God? 4. Based upon verse 2, not only are we justified by faith (made right before God), but we have been granted access in to what? 5. Grace represents everything you now have access to as a believer in Jesus Christ, which is the unearned, undeserved power of Jesus at work in your to life to make you more like HIM (which produces even more shalom).

  • Faith of Abraham Ave You Heard Anything, Yet?” Sharonda Asked Her Hfriend Dana
    Lesson 7 • July 18 • Page 47 Faith of Abraham ave you heard anything, yet?” Sharonda asked her Hfriend Dana. Dana shifted in her recliner and watched her friend unpack the rest of her groceries. Sharonda had insisted on accompanying Dana to the store. Dana had been home since March with doctor orders of no moderate lifting and excessive standing due to her scoliosis, which had wors- ened severely in the last 10 years. Dana’s career as a registered nurse had ended. Her job could not accommodate her medical condition, and she was about three years from retirement. Dana’s long-term disability at work was being “reviewed,” and the proce- dure for applying for government disability benefits was arduous and painstaking. Still, Dana remained confident in God. She did not know the way through the twists and turns in this season of her life. Indeed, she had never known the way. Dana had trusted and followed Christ for 50 of her 64 years. She worked. She planned. She saved. But most of all, she put her trust in Christ. “All of this would have me a little stressed out,” said Sharonda from the kitchen. “I mean, you work all of your life, and then you end up not knowing what’s going to happen with your job and your life.” “I don’t know what exactly will happen,” said Dana. “None of us do. But in faith, I know where I stand and in whom I believe—and that’s the Lord.” 1. What are some things people stand for? 2.

R o m a n s 5 Study Guide P a g e | 1 NOTES Chapter 5 The Security of Salvation If salvation cannot be earned by being good enough or by accumulating enough good works to merit salvation, how does a person know for certain that when he dies, he will go to heaven? The primary reason that God has revealed to us, and had written down through inspiration, the revelation of His will was so that man could “know that you have eternal life” (1 Jn 5:12). This assurance of salvation is sometimes referred to as a “helmet” (Eph 6:17; 1 Thess 5:8) to protect the believer from the blows of doubt and uncertainty in his mind concerning his relationship with God. In Chapter 4 Paul established the method of how He is willing to justify sinful mankind, and an OT illustration of this method to show that this is not something new, but the only way sinners from the beginning of the people of God could ever be acceptable to Him.

  • Romans 5: Jesus As the Center of God's Salvific Process
    CHAPTER SEVEN ROMANS 5: JESUS AS THE CENTER OF GOD’S SALVIFIC PROCESS AND ITS RESULT In Romans 4, Paul deals with justifi cation by faith through the exem- plary case of Abraham, and bridges the case of Abraham’s faith to his readers. In the course of bridging, he restates Jesus’ death and resurrection as the central event in God’s salvation (Rom 4:24–25). Th en, in Romans 5, Paul explains the meaning and implication of the centrality of Jesus. Th e position of Romans 5 in Paul’s argument is a debated problem. In general, there are four options concerning this issue: (1) as a conclusion, Romans 5 is attached to Romans 1–4;1 (2) as a beginning, Romans 5 is connected to Romans 6–8;2 (3) Rom 5:1–11 and 12–21 are linked to Romans 1–4 and Romans 6–8 respectively;3 and (4) Romans 5 is a transition between Romans 1–4 and 6–8.4 Regarding this issue, however, it would be better to delay the determination of the position of Romans 5 for the present until we have fi nished discussing Romans 5. 1 Sanday and Headlam, A Critical and Exegetical Commentary on the Epistle to the Romans, xlvii–xlix; Murray, Th e Epistle to the Romans, 211; M.

  • Romans 5:1-21 “The Results of Justification by Faith”
    The Book of Romans By Doug Hamilton Romans 5:1-21 “The Results of Justification by Faith” In summarizing the Book of Romans, it is important to remember that the Jews, including the Jewish Christians, were expelled from Rome by Claudius in 49 AD. When they came back in 54 AD following his death, they were greeted by an empowered gentile Christian group whom were no longer as dependent. This caused strife in the Roman church community. Paul aimed to resolve this. In chapter 1 of Romans we find the Apostle Paul proving to the gentile Christians that they were all sinners. In chapter 2 he extended the same condemnation to the Jewish Christians regardless of how much they wanted to cling to their heritage in the Law. In chapter Paul uniformly condemned all as sinners and ended the chapter with the introduction to “justification by faith” as the means for all. In chapter 4 he further explained this concept to the Jewish Christians using Abraham and David. In chapter 5 he exposes 6 results of this. 1) We have access to God. Romans 5:1-2 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we exult in hope of the glory of God. As a result of being justified by faith, we have ACCESS to God in many ways. The first way is the peace of God. The peace that Paul refers to is not the worldly definition of “opposite of war”, but of the well-being of the person of God.
