It is not about us…it is all about Jesus. He wants no one to perish…no, not one! The door is wide open and His pierced hands are extended to you…salvation, restoration and eternal love await your embrace.
Let your fruit shine to His glory. Faith without works produces nothing.
In His birth, death and resurrection Jesus offers life to all who accept this amazing gift of grace from the Father.
Paul emphasizes that Adam’s trespass brought death to all who belong to him. By contrast, those who belong to Christ receive the free gift of grace. Faithlife Bible.
Through Christ came the free gift that resulted in justification. That is to say, the aim or goal of the gift is justification, or “righteousness.” In other words, the goal of the gift of eternal life is righteous living. This does not refer to justification by faith but to the practical outworking of faith through righteous acts. Thus this verse contrasts the penal servitude of a sinner with the righteous life of a believer.
Through Christ came justification of life, a justification that produces life. NKJ Bible.
Romans 5:15–17 (NKJV)
15 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. 16 And the gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned. For the judgment which came from one offense resulted in condemnation, but the free gift which came from many offenses resulted in justification. 17 For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.
Isaiah 53:11 (NKJV)
11 He shall see the labor of His soul, and be satisfied.
By His knowledge My righteous Servant shall justify many,
For He shall bear their iniquities.
