We will being
looking at Romans 5 but before we do I wont to say this about the
word “death.” I have stated before that death has two meanings,
the first is illustrated in the life of Saul of Tarsus. Because as
Saul this man operated as all natural man will, what I mean is this
Saul had within him the ability to be good and bad. It was his bad
side that prevailed when he as a lawyer and Priest of the Hebrews
sought out and destroyed his fellow man. Which Acts and Galatians
speak of which, he himself admittes he did this in ignorance following the
ways of Judaism in the rigid adherance to their interpretation of the
Law. Then he meat the person of the risen LORD on the Damascus road
outside of Jerusalem and Damascus and this one event was the pivital
point of his life. When he came out of his shell of hypocrity and
aspostisy of Judaism as a lawyer of its Law. GOD used him to move
mountains and begin the change in the course of human events which is
moving on with each new generation of man still today. Saul became
Paul to signify this change just as Abram became Abraham to signify a
change. Both Paul and Abraham operated in and through Love in a
strong trust, not of the Law but rather every breath or word of GOD.
Paul became the mouth piece through which GOD spoke to man through
His Son's ontological essense reentered within Paul. Paul was given
the keys to the kingdom otherwise called secrets and mysteries of
Christ. He understood them being a lawyer of Hebrew doctrine as these
were hidden in the text of all of their writings and are only
received by those who have received the risen LORD and by so doing
believe Him.
Romans
5:12-14, 15-17, 18-20
“Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by
sin; and so death (this is
speaking of the spiritual separation of the one action of woman and
Adam. Where mankind is dead to GODS presence and can no longer walk
with Him nor openly communicate as was the usual or norm of Gen. 1 and 2.
This separation then)
passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: (For
until the Law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there
is no Law. Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over
them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's
transgression, who is the figure of Him that was to come.
But
not as the offence (transgression,
apostatize to fall away look again at 2Cor.
3:14),
so also
the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead
(separated
from
GOD), much more the Grace of God, and the gift by Grace (reentry
was made possible, in 2Cor.
4:6 it states, “God, who commanded the light to shine out of
darkness, has shined in our hearts, to give
the light of the Knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus
Christ.”),
is
by one man, Jesus Christ), having abounded to many. And not as it
was
by one that sinned, so
is
the gift: for the judgment is
by one to condemnation, but the free gift is
of many offences to justification (to
be declared and rendered innocent of all charges against).
For if by one man's offence death (to
be dead, die to GOD as in being separated from)
reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance (to
cause to superabound, excel, exseed beyond in)
of Grace (the
benefit of our benefitactor)
and of the gift of Righteousness shall reign in Life by One, Jesus
Christ.)
Therefore
as by the offence of one judgment
came
upon all men to condemnation; even so by the Righteousness of One the
free gift came
upon all men to (acquittal)
justification of Life (Spirit
/ spirit).
For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the
obedience of One shall many be made Righteous. Moreover the
(principle of)
law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded,
Grace did much more abound: That as sin having reigned to death, even
so might Grace reigns through Righteousness to Eternal (as
the world began and continues outward)
Life (Spirit / spirit)
by Jesus Christ our LORD.”
In this passage there is a parenthical phrase which begins at verse 13 with these words "For unitl" and it ends at verse 17 with these words "Jesus Christ." I point this out because of how it deals with the Law and this is the Law of Moses and not the law of the kingdom which is Love and Faith working in agreement and harmony with Grace.
