Replaced With Grace

Romans 5:20-21 Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more,21 so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord

The law exposes the sin. Sin means missing the mark. You don’t know how far your missing the mark until you put up the target. (law)

Once we see the law we see how much we missed the mark

Sin reigning in death or grace reigning unto eternal life.

Recap:

v. 17—Death vs. life: Death reigned through Adam, but Christians reign in life through JESUS.
v. 18—Condemnation vs. justification: Adam’s sin ushered the human race into condemnation; JESUS death brings justification with God.
v. 19—Disobedience vs. obedience: Adam disobeyed God, which caused us to be born into sin. JESUS obeyed God, which makes it possible for us to be free from sin.
v. 20—Law vs. grace: God did not give the Law to save mankind, but rather to expose how far we are missing the mark. Once we see that we see it is impossible to hit the mark, so GOD provided a free gift that allows HIS grace to be applied rather then HIS law.

2 Corinthians 5:17 says, Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

The new creation, which has received JESUS, no longer has sin reigning, IT HAS PASSED AWAY replaced with grace. Death does not reign, IT HAS PASSED AWAY replaced with life.
