From Chapter 5:12–21 of the study of the Book of Romans (אֶל־הָרוֹמִיִּים), Brother Gideon Levytam highlight, how the Apostle Paul contrasts Adam and Yeshua the Messiah to explain the origin of sin and the greatness of God’s grace. Paul teaches that sin entered the world through one man, Adam, and with Adam’s sin came death, which spread to all humanity because all have sinned. Even before God gave the Law of Moses to Israel, death reigned, revealing that the curse of sin affected all people. Adam is presented as a type of the Messiah, yet the contrast is striking: whereas Adam’s disobedience brought condemnation upon all, Yeshua’s obedience brought justification and life to all who believe in Him. Paul emphasizes that God’s grace is far greater than man’s sin, while one man’s offence brought judgment to many, the righteousness of the Messiah brings the gift of eternal life to all who trust in Him.
