Romans 5:17

Excerpt from: Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on Romans 5:17

Through the grace of God, the gift by grace has abounded to many through Christ; yet multitudes choose to remain under the dominion of sin and death, rather than to apply for the blessings of the reign of grace. But Christ will in nowise cast out any who are willing to come to him.



This message has been kicking down many doors to get to me, and I see it now and I am in awe of God. This is a commentary on the central Scripture of Joseph Prince Ministries. Sin reigned, but now righteousness reigns, and those in Christ have overcome the world. Amazing, we are so often taken back to the law and reminded of our sins, but verses prior reveal that the law was to show the need for grace and grace to take the place of the law. You must choose the law and death or grace and life. You must choose to look on the brazen serpent and live or let sin and judgment destroy you (Numbers 21:4-9).
