The document summarizes key points from Romans chapter 5 about sin and salvation. It discusses how sin entered the world through Adam, bringing death to all people, and how God provided salvation through Jesus Christ. It explains that people are justified by faith in Christ, not by works, and that grace abounds much more than sin due to God's gift of salvation. The greatest gift from God was giving his Son to save humanity from sin and death.

1. Lesson 6

3. 1. Justification by faith.
Romans 5:1-5.
2. God’s love for sinners.
Romans 5:6-11.
3. Sin comes to Earth.
Romans 5:12.
4. The law and sin.
Romans 5:13-14, 20-21.
5. Adam’s transgression and God’s
gift. Romans 5:15-19.
In Romans chapter 5, Paul
explains the greatest problem of
mankind—sin—and its solution.
How was sin introduced into
Earth? What solution did God
provide? Why did He do so?

4. “Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with
God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have
access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in
hope of the glory of God.” (Romans 5:1-2)
What does “having been justified” mean?
We have been declared just. That is,
sinless men and women whose lives resound
in harmony with the Law of God.
How have we been justified?
We’ve been justified by our faith in Jesus, not
because any good work we might’ve done.
Which is the legal mechanism behind that?
Jesus paid for the guilt of our sins by dying at
the cross. Our lives are replaced by His perfect
life. We are just because He is just.

5. JUSTIFICATION BY FAITH
“Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have
peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
through whom also we have access by faith into this
grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the
glory of God.” (Romans 5:1-2)
According to verses 3-5,
how can we rejoice
in hope?
Tribulations generate
patience
• Believers remain
faithful amid
suffering. Hope is
never lost.
Patience generates
trials
• When patiently
going through
tribulations, we
develop an
approved character.
Trials generate hope
• The Spirit grows the
patience in us so we
may have an
approved character.
That way we are
encouraged in the
hope of the
salvation Jesus gives
us.

6. GOD’S LOVE FOR SINNERS
“But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that
while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8)
How does God show us His love?
He made the first
move to
reconciliation. He
died for use when
we were still sinners.
Romans 5:6-8
He hates sin and He
will destroy it
forever.
Nevertheless, He
offers a way out so
we are not destroyed
for our sins.
Romans 5:9
Jesus reconciled us
with God in His
death and
resurrection. We are
saved because He
lives.
Romans 5:10-11

7. “Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the
world, and death through sin, and thus death spread
to all men, because all sinned.” (Romans 5:12)
God created mankind so we could be happy in His
presence forever.
That was enough proof of God’s love before sin
brought death to our kind.
Adam represented humanity. His fall
made the plan of redemption necessary.
God had already prepared that plan as
the solution for our possible fall.
Death is the consequence of sin in
humanity. We can’t do anything to solve
this issue because we all have sinned
(Romans 3:23).

8. “Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But
where sin abounded, grace abounded much more, so that as sin
reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to
eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 5:20-21)
Before the law
Romans 5:13-14
After the law
Romans 5:20
From Adam to Moses
There was sin, so there
was Law—although it
was not fully explained.
From Moses to the end
of sin
People understood what
sin is in a better way.
Therefore, sin abounded.
By Jesus Christ
Romans 5:21
Grace abounded
much more.
SIN REIGNED GRACE REIGNS
The law of God is eternal. Sin is breaking His law. God explained His Law in detail
in Sinai so we could be aware of our sins. That way we would embrace the grace
that could make us free from our condemnation; that is, Jesus the Messiah.

9. “But the free gift is not like the offense. For if by the one man’s offense
many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one
Man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many.” (Romans 5:15)
TRANSGRESSION
Many died (v. 15)
The
condemnation
judgment (v. 16)
Death reigned
(v. 17)
Condemnation
came (v. 18)
Many were made
sinners (v. 19)
THE GIFT
Grace abounded
(v. 15)
Came in
justification (v. 16)
We’ll reign in life
(v. 17)
Justification of life
came (v. 18)
Many will be
made righteous
(v. 19)
As humans, we received
nothing from Adam but the
sentence of death. Christ,
however, stepped in and
passed over the ground
where Adam fell, enduring
every test in behalf of
humans. He redeemed
Adam’s disgraceful failure and
fall, and, thus, as our
Substitute, He placed us on
vantage ground with God.
Hence, Jesus is the “Gift from
God.”
Justification cannot be won.
It’s a gift!

10. “Only as we contemplate the great plan of redemption can we
have a just appreciation of the character of God. The work of
creation was a manifestation of His love; but the gift of God to
save the guilty and ruined race, alone reveals the infinite depths
of divine tenderness and compassion. ‘God so loved the world,
that He gave His only-begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in
Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.’ While the law
of God is maintained, and its justice vindicated, the sinner can
be pardoned. The dearest gift that heaven itself had to bestow
has been poured out that God ‘might be just, and the justifier of
him which believeth in Jesus.’ By that gift men are uplifted
from the ruin and degradation of sin to become children of
God.”
E.G.W. (Testimonies for the Church, vol. 5, cp. 89, p. 739)
