The Gift In Christ Surpassing The Heritage
THE GIFT IN CHRIST
SURPASSING THE HERITAGE
IN ADAM
The book of Romans reveals that we have both the heritage in Adam and the gift in Christ. We must realize that the gift in Christ surpasses the heritage in Adam. Since we were all born of Adam and in Adam, we have inherited all that he is and has. What are the items of our inheri tance in Adam? Two dreadful things—sin and death. Regardless of whether we are good or bad, as long as we were born of Adam's race we have sin and death as our heritage. Praise God for the gift in Christ! The gift in Christ surpasses the heritage in Adam.
TWO MEN
In Romans 5:12-21 we have two men, two acts, and two results. This passage is difficult to remember because everything in it transcends our understanding. Have you ever thought that in the whole universe there are only two men?
