A Free Gift
But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if many died through one man’s trespass, much more have the grace of God and the free gift by the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for many. And the free gift is not like the result of that one man’s sin. For the judgment following one trespass brought condemnation, but the free gift following many trespasses brought justification. For if, because of one man’s trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ.

A Free Gift
We all like getting something for nothing, especially when it is something we really want. After all, Adam’s gift of original sin is certainly a gift we would like to have not received. But as devastating as that gift was to the world, the gift given by Jesus is far greater and much superior to anything Adam could give. This free gift is God’s grace in Christ. The death Adam merited spread to all humanity. But through Christ Jesus, His death on the cross, and His resurrection three days later, we are showered with His grace, which is His free gift of righteousness. God gives Christ’s righteousness to cover our sins. Therefore, through Jesus Christ, Adam’s gift of death no longer reigns over God’s people. God’s gift of life through His Son is yours.
