You must be in fellowship prior to your Bible study, so that the spiritual information you receive can become a source, of blessing to your soul and produce spiritual growth. Daily Bible Study Romans 5:18 http://www.dailybiblestudy.org
18 Therefore [ara] [oun] as [hos] by [dia] the offence [paraptoma] of one [heis] judgment came upon [eis] all [pas] men [anthropos] to [eis] condemnation [katakrima]; even [kai] so [houto] by [dia] the righteousness [dikaioma] of one [heis] the free gift came upon [eis] all [pas] men [anthropos] unto [eis] justification [dikaiosis] of life [zoe]. KJV-Interlinear
18 Therefore, as one trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men. ESV
Some try to use this passage to prove that everyone is automatically saved, however that is not the case. Paul began the subject back in verse twelve, and throughout these last few verses he has been comparing the pattern by which sin came into the world, to the pattern by which salvation came into the world. Adam made a conscious decision and he committed a sin. By that sin, the human race as a whole was condemned. However, each individual person, as they have lived their life, made their own individual decisions and committed sins of their own, thus confirming their own condemnation. Jesus Christ made a conscious decision and voluntarily placed himself in the place of all humanity, to take on the penalty of sin and pay the price for salvation. Adam made a conscious decision that brought condemnation to humanity. Jesus Christ made a conscious decision that brought salvation to humanity. However, each individual person has to make a conscious decision of their own in order to confirm each of these cases. Each and every person throughout human history has sinned, therefore all are condemned. Each and every person throughout human history has to believe in Christ, which is a conscious decision, in order to receive salvation. Just as a person makes a decision to sin, so also each person has to make a decision to believe in Christ for salvation. What Paul has been teaching is that there is a pattern that lays down the groundwork, and framework for each of these concepts. No person is condemned by the act of another. So also, no person is saved by the act of another. Each person has to make their own conscious decision in order to fall into the patterns that have been established. Condemnation comes through sin, and likewise salvation comes through faith. This therefore, makes it possible for babies, for example, to be saved if they happen to die at a very young age. They have neither committed a sin, but likewise they have not committed faith. Neither of which they are capable. God is fair. Adams original sin, exposes humanity to eternal condemnation. The righteous work of Jesus Christ, presents opportunity to humanity for eternal life. These studies, are a part of the massive daily study web site at DailyBibeStudy.Org, that is easily accessible, and are written, so that you can come to Christ if you have not done so already, and therefore not be lost forever. And if you have already believed in Christ, then these studies are written so you can learn and understand and grow in your spiritual life, so that you can come to the full knowledge of Christ, so that you can fulfill your meaning and purpose in life as God intended for you, and so you can qualify for a phenomenal eternal reward which you will have forever. To ignore this opportunity to pursue a daily study means you will be incomplete, unfulfilled and you will lose out, big time. The Daily Bible Study is online, making it possible as never before in all of human history, to advance in ones relationship with God, through Christ, and to complete yourself beyond your imagination. But you have to decide to make that commitment. No one else can study for you. You have to do that yourself.
Now is the time to post a prayer. End Of Lesson Study to show thyself approved (mature) unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing (studying/discerning), the Word of truth. |
