Romans 5:15-17

Pastor Blaine teaches from Romans 5, contrasting what we inherit from Adam with what we receive through Christ. In Adam, all people are born into sin, condemnation, and the reign of death — but in Christ, God offers a free, generous gift of grace, justification, and true life. Blaine emphasizes that Jesus’ saving work is infinitely greater than Adam’s failure, because restoring what is broken costs far more than breaking it. He calls Christians to place deeper confidence in the resurrection than in the fear of death, reminding us that our hope isn’t based on emotions but on the objective truth of Christ’s sacrifice. The gospel is offered to everyone, but we only receive it by surrendering fully to Jesus.
