(5) Much More’s – Roman Epistle chapter 5

1.    Romans 5:9…MUCH MORE then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

2. Romans 5:10…For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, MUCH MORE, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

3. Romans 5:15… But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, MUCH MORE the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.

4. Romans 5:17… For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; MUCH MORE they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)

5. Romans 5:20… Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did MUCH MORE abound:


· Forgiveness and cleansing from sin through faith in the sacrifice of Christ
· Great Grace - abundant Grace - Gift of righteousness - Power that morally changes man’s make-up
· Saved from Judgment and the condemnation of Hell’s damnation
· Reconciliation - united with Christ in the Spirit. Guilt freedom - sin’s dominion broken.
· The Offence of Adam result of the curse - divine nature lost - carnal nature passed into humanity
· Supremacy of Christ from the atonement of Calvary to His enthronement in Heaven
· Reign of death - Universal separation from God passed into humanity - resulting from Adam’s sin
· Law of Moses given to help man to recognize sin - showed the offence


Salvation offers forgiveness for all past sins. Salvation offers holiness of heart and conduct in this present life. The first man Adam at the Fall was a small picture if the divine nature (lost) – the second man Christ at the crucifixion made an atoning sacrifice and projects the HUGE PICTURE of God’s abundant Grace – Greater than the Law of Moses. Reason? Abundant Grace provides victory over sin’s dominion. Man struggled to keep the Law of Moses. Abundant Grace is freely given to make man a new creation - provides the believer with a clean heart and right life - results in the righteousness of God granted to the heart of a believer. Christ abolished the Law and thus took away the human struggle to achieve right standing in the eyes of God - at Calvary leaving us with these words, “It is finished”. MUCH MORE is the great picture of abundant grace projected in Romans 5. The free gift of Salvation given from Christ and so much more has replaced with magnitude - what Adam lost at the curse of the Fall.
