Moreover, the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more. Romans 5:20

I read and reread this chapter this morning and it really sunk in for the first time that sin was made law so that we could do what is right.“But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more. What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin so that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?” Christ died for our sins, and he rose again by the glory of God, so too, we who have been raised with Christ should walk in newness of life. But, we are human, and our flesh is weak, but we must understand that we are no longer ignorant, we are wise to the law, in that we would not have known sin if we did not know the law. You and I would not know of covetousness, if the law did not say, do not covet. But sin taking opportunity by the commandment produced all manner of evil desires within us, it deceived us therefore, the commandment which was to bring life, now brings death. But, do we want to live in Christ, or die to sin? Has then what is good become death to us? Scripture says, “Certainly not!” But that where sin abounded that 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. Amen!
