Discussion Questions

  1. What insight, principle, or observation from this week’s sermon was the most helpful, eye- opening, or troubling? Explain.
  2. What is the main contrast between Adam’s trespass and Christ’s gift in Romans 5:15?
  3. What does Paul mean when he says that “grace reigns through righteousness” in Romans 5:21?
  4. How does understanding Adam as a “type” of Christ help us grasp the significance of Christ’s work (Romans 5:14, 18-19)?

Next Steps

Let grace, not guilt or fear, reign in your life. Consider how you can allow God’s grace to shape your attitudes, decisions, and relationships. When faced with temptation or difficulty, remind yourself that you are no longer under the reign of sin and death, but under the reign of grace. Actively seek to reflect Christ’s righteousness in your daily life, extending grace to others as you have received it from God.
