Romans 5:18-19
Therefore, as through one man’s offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one Man’s righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life. For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous.
The one man who first made an offense and was judged to be condemned to death was Adam. The propensity to sin was thus passed down from generation to generation until the present time, therefore we were made sinners. However, the One Man came to blot out our sins and cancel the punishment of sin by dying on the cross, hence making us righteous- Jesus Christ.
Romans 5:8-9
But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.
What a great promise is this for us who inherited our father, Adam's sinful nature! Understanding Jesus' sacrifice on the cross helps us to understand God's love for us all the same. The beauty of His plan for us, the significance of it all can not be described in words.
No one, nothing and no good works can ever reconcile us to God but Jesus Christ, He is the only way to salvation.
