GRACE Romans 5:15-17

But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man (Adam), how much more did God's grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many! Nor can the gift of God be compared with the result of one man's sin: The judgment followed one sin and brought condemnation, but the gift followed many trespasses and brought justification. For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God's abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ! 

For if the many died by the trespass of the one man 
Romans 5:12  Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned--...
Romans 5:18-19  Consequently, just as one trespass resulted in condemnation for all people, so also one righteous act resulted in justification and life for all people. For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.

how much more did God's grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many 
Acts 15:11  Not only is this so, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.

For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man 
Romans 5:12  Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned--...

how much more will those who receive God's abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ 
John 10:10  "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."
