About this episode
The episode discusses the theological implications of Adam's sin and its contrast with Christ's grace as presented in Romans.
Summary: where we're at in Romans and where we're going in this passage. Relevance: why does this matter to me? Thesis: Because Adam represented us, his sin brought death's reign over us; but Adam's failure points us to Christ, the better Representative who brings life. In Adam, death reigns. In Christ, grace reigns. YOU WERE BORN INTO ADAM'S STORY (V. 12A) YOU LIVE UNDER DEATH'S REIGN (V. 12B) YOU CAN'T MAKE SENSE OF DEATH WITHOUT SIN (VV. 13–14A)
