God's grace and obedience to Him (part 5)

Romans 5:19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. What makes us righteous? Nothing we can do, as there is nothing we could do to prevent sin from entering the world, death could not be relinquished, and the law could not be prevented. And there is nothing we can do to bring righteousness on ourselves. Jesus brought it to us through His obedience to the Father. By becoming Christ, we begin the walk as He did. As it says in Colossians 3:10 when we put on the new man we are becoming like Christ and so we walk in obedience to God. Which means that we must put aside past practices that we thought were harmless or even those that are harmless but may take us away from God even slightly. Once we have died with Him and risen with Him our walk puts on the new man in full obedience to God.

Romans 5:20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: No matter what law, Mosaic or whatever, is to demonstrate or bring out the sin (wrongdoing) of men which existed since Adam and Eve but were only defined or recognized as breaking a law when the law was established. This was for the purpose of demonstrating God's grace given to us through Christ. And realize once again that nothing we can do will save us, except the blood of Christ. We walk the way we walk in Christ because of obedience to the Father not the other way around. Otherwise it would be a work.

Romans 5:21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord. Again just repeating the above statement. Sin dragged us down but God's grace and love are so strong that we are made righteous and free in Him.

Romans 6King James Version (KJV)

Romans 6:1  What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? Why did Paul write the above, He asks. Can we keep living a life sin and God continue to give us that much more grace. I.e, our choice of living, can it be living a life of sinning because God's grace is deeper than that?
