In this week's message from The Gospel series, we work through Romans 5:12-21 — one of the most theologically dense and personally relevant passages Paul ever wrote. Two men. Two choices. Two consequences for all of humanity.

The word "one" appears eleven times in this passage, and Paul means every repetition. One man brought death into the world; one man brought grace that overflows it. Adam and Christ both acted as representatives for the human race — and the difference between what they did is what the Gospel is made of.

This message explores:

• Original sin and the uncomfortable logic of Adam as our representative
• Why Paul's "much more" of grace isn't just a recovery — it's an overflow
• The first and second Adam, and what John's Gospel adds to Paul's argument
• What it actually looks like to stop living from your old-humanity identity

Next Steps: → Read Romans 5:12-21 this week and sit with the "much more" statements in verses 15 and 17. → Ask yourself: Am I living in Christ's new-humanity, or am I still defaulting to my old-humanity identity? → If you'd like to take a next step in your faith — connect with us at www.grandpoint.church
