Death in Adam, Life in Christ

Men are saved in the same manner in which they were lost. Through the action or act of one man. We are in the section of Romans that began with Chapter 3, verse 21, and runs through chapter 5, talking about our justification. How do we, as fallen, sinful, condemned human beings become righteous before almighty God. We come to verse 12, which builds upon what he has said in the first 11 verses and brings to a conclusion what he has been saying. But, in many ways, it forms a fitting conclusion to everything he has said from chapter 1, verse 18 up to this point. Paul talked about the matter of our condemnation. That we are sinners, guilty before God. Then, he talked about how sinners can be justified. Now, he pulls this all together because he's going to talk about our condemnation and how that really came about in Adam; and our justification and how that really came about in Christ.
