Bible Note: “Romans 5:18 connects the two clauses with the comparative 'even so'. If the extent in the first clause is universal, why then would the extent in the second clause be limited?” Very well said, Tim. You have, in one sentence made crystal clear what I saw in my time of meditation. I am still dwelling on the vast and glorious implications of the universal application of the "..the righteousness of one and the justification of life coming upon all men that believe..". . going forth not just as to all men that will be born and believe (as in Adam all dieing because of sin).. but how that this righteous is EVEN greater and Goes backwards along the history of mankind and is applied to all men that believe. The justification went forth at the Death Burial and Resurrection, to all future men that will believe, and is extended to them all without reservation, and extends backwards upon all them that have believed in times past all the way back to Adam himself. Universal? the half has never yet been told. |
