Today’s Devotional…
If by Adam’s disobedience “many” were made sinners, it is only fair that by Jesus’ obedience, “many” should be made righteous. That is simply justice.
But we need to define “many” here, and it is simple: it seems to be a unanimous agreement that the “many” who became sinners after Adam’s disobedience were actually referring to “all”
Similarly, if “many” is equal to “many” as our opening verse clearly states (seeing that it is the word used in both cases), then the “many” who were made righteous after the obedience of Jesus Christ actually refers to “all” as well.
So, Adam makes all men sinners, then Jesus makes all the sinful men righteous. This is the gospel, it is independent of all human effort.
No sinner became sinner by their own weakness, but all men before the cross found themselves in sin involuntarily, simply because of Adam’s disobedience.
Similarly, no righteous man became righteous by their own effort, but all men after the cross found themselves (as we do find ourselves today) in righteousness involuntarily, simply because of Jesus’ obedience. Selah!
May the eyes of your understanding be enlightened in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen
