Ive wandered far away from God Now Im

I’ve wandered far away from God, Now I’m coming home; The paths of sin too long I’ve trod, Lord, I’m coming home. Coming home, coming home, Nevermore to roam; Open wide Thine arms of love; Lord, I’m coming home. 1

I’ve wandered far away from God I’ve wasted many precious years, Now I’m coming home; I now repent with bitter tears, Lord, I’m coming home. Coming home, coming home, Nevermore to roam; Open wide Thine arms of love; Lord, I’m coming home. 2

I’ve wandered far away from God I’m tired of sin and straying, Lord, Now I’m coming home; I’ll trust Thy love, believe Thy word; Lord, I’m coming home. Coming home, coming home, Nevermore to roam; Open wide Thine arms of love; Lord, I’m coming home. 3

I’ve wandered far away from God My soul is sick, my heart is sore, Now I’m coming home; My strength renew, my hope restore: Lord, I’m coming home. Coming home, coming home, Nevermore to roam; Open wide Thine arms of love; Lord, I’m coming home. 4

I’ve wandered far away from God My only hope, my only plea, Now I’m coming home; That Jesus died, and died for me; Lord, I’m coming home. Coming home, coming home, Nevermore to roam; Open wide Thine arms of love; Lord, I’m coming home. 5

Apostle’s Creed I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only Son our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; He descended into hell, The third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit; The Holy Catholic Church; The communion of saints; The forgiveness of sins; The resurrection of the body; And the life everlasting. Amen 15

Today’s Psalm Reading: Jung Sun Moon Psalms 94 14 For the Lord will not reject his people; he will never forsake his inheritance. 15 Judgment will again be founded on righteousness, and all the upright in heart will follow it. 16 Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will take a stand for me against evildoers? 17 Unless the Lord had given me help, I would soon have dwelt in the silence of death. 18 When I said, “My foot is slipping, ” your unfailing love, Lord, supported me. 19 When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy. 20 Can a corrupt throne be allied with you— a throne that brings on misery by its decrees? 16

Today’s Psalm Reading: Jung Sun Moon Psalms 94 21 The wicked band together against the righteous and condemn the innocent to death. 22 But the Lord has become my fortress, and my God the rock in whom I take refuge. 23 He will repay them for their sins and destroy them for their wickedness; the Lord our God will destroy them. 17

Today’s Prayer by Jung Sun Moon 18

This Week’s Verse • Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior. • (Habakkuk 3: 17 -18) 19

Next Week’s Verse • But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God’s grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many! • (Romans 5: 15)(June 5) 20

Today’s Reading Romans 5: 12~21 12 Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned— 13 To be sure, sin was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not charged against anyone’s account where there is no law. 14 Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam, who is a pattern of the one to come. 15 But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God’s grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many! 16 Nor can the gift of God be compared with the result of one man’s sin: The judgment followed one sin and brought condemnation, but the gift followed many trespasses and brought justification.

Today’s Reading Romans 5: 12~21 17 For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God’s abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ! 18 Consequently, just as one trespass resulted in condemnation for all people, so also one righteous act resulted in justification and life for all people. 19 For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous. 20 The law was brought in so that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more, 21 so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Christ and the Reign of Life (Romans 5: 15 -21) 25

Introduction • Paul continues his analogy of Adam and Christ, showing how the life that was made possible for all men by Christ’s atoning sacrifice is illustrated antithetically by the death that was made inevitable for all men by Adam’s sin. • It is the truth the apostle summarizes in his first letter to Corinth: “For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all shall be made alive” (l Cor. 15: 22). 26

Introduction • As noted in the previous chapter, the only truly analogous factor between Adam and Christ is that of one man/one act. • That is, just as the one man Adam’s sin brought sin to all mankind, so the one man Jesus Christ’s one sacrifice made salvation available to all mankind. 27

Introduction • In the present passage, as if to examine every facet of this marvelous analogy, Paul explores five essential areas of contrast between the condemning act of Adam and the redemptive act of Christ. • Those acts were different in their effectiveness (v. 15), in their extent (v. 16), in their efficacy (v. 17), in their essence (vv. 18– 19), and in their energy (vv. 20– 21). 28

THE CONTRAST IN EFFECTIVENESS (5: 15): 15 But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God’s grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many! • The first contrast is clearly stated as being between the free gift of Christ and the transgression of Adam, acts that were totally opposite. 29

THE CONTRAST IN EFFECTIVENESS (5: 15): • By definition, all gifts are free, but charisma (free gift) refers to something given with special graciousness and favor, and therefore could also be appropriately rendered “grace gift. ” • When used of what is given to God, the term refers to that which is right and acceptable in His sight; when used of that which is given by God, as here, it refers to that which is given completely apart from human merit. • In regard to Jesus’ atoning sacrifice, both meanings are involved. Going to the cross was Jesus’ supreme act of obedience to His Father and therefore was wholly acceptable to the Father. • His going to the cross was also the supreme act of divine 30 grace, His free gift offered to sinful mankind.

THE CONTRAST IN EFFECTIVENESS (5: 15): • Transgression is from paraptōma, which has the basic meaning of deviating from a path, or departing from the norm. • By extension, it carries the idea of going where one should not go, and therefore is sometimes translated “trespass. ” • The one sin of Adam that was bequeathed to all his posterity and that brought the reign of death on the world was a transgression from the one command, from the single norm for obedience, that God had given. 31

THE CONTRAST IN EFFECTIVENESS (5: 15): • The impact of the free gift and of the transgression are distinct to themselves. • By the transgression of the one, that is, Adam, the many died. • Perhaps for the sake of parallelism, Paul uses many in two different senses in this verse. • As will be seen below, he uses the term all with similarly distinct meanings in verse 18. • In regard to Adam’s act, many is universal and inclusive, corresponding to the “all” in verse 12. • Because all men, without exception, bear in themselves the nature and mark of sin, they are all, without exception, under the sentence of death (as he has made clear in 32 earlier chapters).

THE CONTRAST IN EFFECTIVENESS (5: 15): • By eating of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, Adam departed from God’s standard and entered a divinely-forbidden realm. • And instead of becoming more like God, as Satan had promised, man became more unlike His Creator and separated from Him. • Instead of bringing man into the province of God, Adam’s transgression delivered him and all his posterity to the province of Satan. 33

THE CONTRAST IN EFFECTIVENESS (5: 15): • The heart of Paul’s comparison, however, is that Christ’s one act of salvation had immeasurably greater impact than Adam’s one act of damnation. • Much more, he says, did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many. • The divine provision of redemption not only is an expression of the grace of God the Father but of the grace of God the Son, the one Man, Jesus Christ. 34

THE CONTRAST IN EFFECTIVENESS (5: 15): • The sin of Adam brought death. But the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, did more than simply provide the way for fallen mankind to be restored to the state of Adam’s original innocence. • Jesus Christ not only reversed the curse of death by forgiving and cleansing from sin but provided the way for redeemed men to share in the full righteousness and glory of God. 35

THE CONTRAST IN EFFECTIVENESS (5: 15): • John Calvin wrote, “Since the fall of Adam had such an effect as to produce ruin of many, much more efficacious is the grace of God to the benefit of many; inasmuch as it is admitted, that Christ is much more powerful to save, than Adam was to destroy” (Commentaries on the Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Romans [Grand Rapids: Baker, 1979], p. 206). • God’s grace is greater than man’s sin. • Not only is it greater than the one original sin of Adam that brought death to all men but it is greater than all the accumulated sins that men have ever or will ever commit. 36

THE CONTRAST IN EFFECTIVENESS (5: 15): • It might be said that Adam’s sinful act, devastating as it was, had but a one-dimensional effect—it brought death to everyone. • But the effect of Christ’s redemptive act has facets beyond measure, because He not only restores man to spiritual life but gives him the very life of God. • Death by nature is static and empty, whereas life by nature is active and full. • Only life can abound. 37

THE CONTRAST IN EFFECTIVENESS (5: 15): • Contrary to its use in the beginning of this verse regarding Adam, the term many now carries its normal meaning, applying only to those for whom Christ’s gracious gift of salvation is made effective through their faith in Him. • Although Paul does not mention that qualifying truth at this point, He has just declared that believers are “justified by faith” and are introduced “by faith into this grace in which we stand” (5: 1– 2). • That, of course, is the cardinal truth of the gospel as far as man’s part is concerned; it is the focus of Paul’s teaching in this epistle from 3: 21– 5: 2. 38

This Week’s Conversation A: Did you know that angels were created to glorify God? B: Of course. God also created man to glorify him, too. A: Right. Do you know the difference between angels and man? B: Yes. Man was created to be in image of God and be procreative, but angels were not. A: That’s correct, but there is more to it. B: Yeah? What is it? A: Angels did not understand God’s nature such as grace, mercy and forgiveness. Only man can understand it through redemption. B: I see. That’s why God created man to glorify Him for His grace, mercy and forgiveness. 39

Next Week’s Conversation A: In Romans chapter 5, Paul compares and contrasts Adam and Christ. B: Yeah? How does he compare Adam and Christ? A: Adam and Christ both did one action as one man to cause profound consequences. B: What do you mean? A: In other words, just as the one man Adam’s sin brought sin to all mankind, so the one man Jesus Christ’s one sacrifice made salvation available to all mankind. B: I see. How does he contrast Adam and Christ? A: That is to come in the next series of lessons. B: I can’t wait to hear. 40
