Abounding Grace | Romans 5:12-21
/In this sermon, we're reminded of the profound biblical truth that one man's actions had the power to mar the world, while only one man possesses the ability to redeem it, Jesus. We are all either in Adam, inheriting the consequences of sin, or in Christ, beneficiaries of His redeeming grace.
Notes:
+ Jesus’ grace is more powerful than Adam’s Sin.
• Grace outmatches sin
• Grace overcomes sin

Psalm 40:12 (ESV) — 12 For evils have encompassed me beyond number; my iniquities have overtaken me, and I cannot see; they are more than the hairs of my head; my heart fails me.
