Scripture

Romans 5:12–21

[12] Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned—[13] for sin indeed was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not counted where there is no law. [14] Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sinning was not like the transgression of Adam, who was a type of the one who was to come. [15] But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if many died through one man’s trespass, much more have the grace of God and the free gift by the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for many. [16] And the free gift is not like the result of that one man’s sin. For the judgment following one trespass brought condemnation, but the free gift following many trespasses brought justification. [17] For if, because of one man’s trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ. [18] Therefore, as one trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men. [19] For as by the one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man’s obedience the many will be made righteous. [20] Now the law came in to increase the trespass, but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, [21] so that, as sin reigned in death, grace also might reign through righteousness leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (ESV)

Call to Worship

Psalm 35:1–3

[1] Contend, O LORD, with those who contend with me;
fight against those who fight against me!
[2] Take hold of shield and buckler
and rise for my help!
[3] Draw the spear and javelin
against my pursuers!
Say to my soul,
“I am your salvation!” (ESV)

Prayer of Repentance

Gracious Father, if we claimed to be in the right, our own mouths would condemn us; if we said, “We are blameless,” you would prove us perverse; for if you contend with us, we could not answer you once in a thousand times. Lord, do not remember our former sins against us; let your compassion come speedily to meet us, for we are brought very low. Give us redemption through Christ’s blood, and the forgiveness of our trespasses. Amen.

Benediction

May the LORD, who condemned the sin of the first Adam, unite you to Christ, the true and better Adam, by faith alone. May His Spirit assure you of justification through the obedience of Christ, freeing you from death's reign. And May you rejoice as new creations, inheriting life and righteousness in Him. In Jesus’ name, Amen
