Kingdom Takeover part-3

1^st – The Superiority of Grace, 15-17

1 – It’s  Impact at Salvation,  15

But the free gift is not like the transgression. For if by the transgression of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many.

2 – It’s  Immensity in Salvation, 16

And the gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned; for on the one hand the judgment arose from one transgression resulting in condemnation, but on the other hand the free gift arose from many transgressions resulting in justification.

3 – It’s  Invincible ability because of Salvation, 17

For if by the transgression of the one, death reigned through the one, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.
