1 | How do you respond to these passages? | 1 John 2:2 | Ray | 9085 | ||
Hi Tim, I would like to see a continuation of your discussion so that you get into the idea of what happens to everyone once they realize that they are reconciled to God. In other words, going on in Romans 5:21 to obedience and eternal life; and further, to 6:22 and sanctification, and the outcome, eternal life. You talked about receiving the abundance of grace in Romans 5:17. How do the grace and righteousness and reigning in life compare with verse 21 where grace would reign through righteousness to eternal life. I see two things in verse 17, grace and the gift of righteousness. I see two things in verse 15, grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man. I see two things in Romans 5:10; the death of His Son, and our being saved by His life. Have I said anything clearly enough to comment on? |

Greetings Ray! I think I follow you! I just woke up, so I may be a little fuzzy yet! Romans 5 definitely includes both the concept of a forensic justification and a continuing relationship in this life. In other words, not only does a legal transaction occur at salvation (we are declared righteous), but the grace of God continues on to give us the ability to reign even in this life. This is where chapter six comes into the picture. I have been doing a study on sanctification and I have been thinking about posting a discussion about Romans 6. If I do, I would appreciate your comments. If I have missed the boat, let me know! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
