According to Romans 5:17, Adam’s trespass of failing to provide leadership in Genesis 3:6 brought death. Before this mistake, God created man and woman to live forever. However, the consequence of sin caused death to reign in Adam’s life.
Today, most believers fail to claim the second portion of Romans 5:17. Instead, they allow death to reign, allowing defeat and Satan’s grasp to prevent spiritual success. This foothold must be broken by changing the reigns from death to life.
God’s grace, God’s riches at Christ’s expense is the key to changing our mindset, which in turn will change the reigns. This gift of God, Ephesians 2:8 is accessed by faith. When we receive God’s free gift, Romans 6:23, we receive God’s abundant provision of God. According to Romans 5:17, the gift of righteousness accompanies grace. Therefore, don’t settle for a mediocre Christian life. Rather, remember, God is the poet, we are his poem, created in Christ Jesus to do good work, Ephesians 2:10. May life reign in your life today through our risen Lord, Jesus Christ.
