Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. That is to say, upon the...

Death reigned by one: much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ. Therefore, as by the offence of one judgment cam upon all men to condemnation: even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. All who are in Christ are...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. That is the wonderful doctrine of “the gospel of Christ.” It is rejected in these evil days; they call it simple, and I know not what beside; but here it is put as plainly as words can put it, “As by one man’s disobedience many were...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound.” It was the practical result of the giving of the law that men became greater sinners than they were before, and it was the design of the law that they should see themselves to...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. Moreover the law entered, The law of Moses.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: that as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord. Blessed be his holy name! Amen.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. The law was not given to Moses to stop sin, or to forgive sin, but to make men see how evil sin is, and to make it evident to them how evil they are. Rom_5:20. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: There was more grace than terror even in the law. It has served a gracious...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: Blessed be God for that! Sin may be a river, but grace is an ocean. Sin may be a mountain, but grace is like Noah’s flood, which prevailed over the tops of the mountains fifteen cubits upward.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
That the offence might abound, but where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: It makes us see sin where we never saw it. It comes on purpose to drive us to despair of being saved by works. It bids us look to the flames that Moses saw, and shrink and tremble with despair.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord. The drift of the whole chapter is to comfort believers in the time of trouble by the fact of the great love of God to them in the person of Jesus Christ their Lord and Saviour.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord. Do you know, dear friends, by personal experience, all about this of which we have been reading? I know that many of you do. Would God that all did,—that they understood, by a living faith, what it is to be justified,...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord. This exposition consisted of readings from Psa_116:1-6; Rom_5:10-21.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? “Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?” That were very horrible inference. It is one great instance of the shocking depravity of man that the inference has been drawn sometimes, I hope not often, for surely Satan himself might scarcely draw an inference of...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? This seems to be a very plausible temptation, it is one which frequently came in the apostle’s way, and therefore he very often had to denounce it. It is one of the vilest suggestions of Satan that could possibly come to men.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? If the sinfulness of man has really given an opportunity for the display of divine mercy, then the devil’s logic would be, “ Let us commit more sin, that there may be more room for grace to work.” But Christians have learned their reasoning in another school, and to such...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? The fifth chapter ends up in this way, that “where sin abounded, etc… Jesus Christ our Lord.” Then he goes on to say, “What shall we say then?” What inference shall we draw from the fact that where sin abounded, grace did much more abound? Shall we be base enough to draw a...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? Now, he goes on by an argument to prove that those in whom the grace of God has wrought the wondrous change cannot possibly choose sin, nor live in it.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? The whole spirit of the gospel is opposed to the idea of sinning because God is gracious. It is a horrible Satanic suggestion, — “As pardon can be so easily obtained from God, let us sin the more against him.” The bare suggestion is utterly degrading and diabolical. It is to...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? The two terms are exactly opposite to one another. If, through grace, we are dead to sin how can we live in it ? If, sinners as we are, we come to Christ to be saved from sin, then it would be a complete misuse of language to talk of being saved from sin, yet still to...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? The grace of God makes us dead to sin. This is the grace of God, which delivers us from the power of evil, and if this be so, how can we live any longer therein?
