The Gift of Grace // Romans 5:12

In Adam, all died. Because of the sin committed by the first man and woman created by God, Adam and Eve, we are all born with sin and will one day face death. This sin separates us from God, leaving us helpless on our own. However, God sent his Son, Jesus Christ into the world to bring us into a loving relationship with God. Jesus lived a perfect life, free of sin, died on the cross, paid the price for the sins of the world, and died a real death. The story didn’t end there, and Jesus rose from the grave three days later. Because of the work of Jesus, we now have hope in being saved from sin and death. We don’t deserve salvation, but God chooses to show us grace and forgives us of our sins.
