There is Hope


Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned... Romans 5:12

In the beginning, one man sinned, and so sin entered the world. Because of that, all men who were born after him sinned also. And with sin came death. Death is the punishment for sin; before sin came into the world, there was no death. But now, death is everywhere, because sin is everywhere.

But there is hope!

For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous. Romans 5:19

The Bible says that just through the sin of one man, many were made sinners, so then by the obedience of one man, many can be made righteous. Jesus came to earth and lived his life in perfection; not one time did he sin. There was no reason for him to die—death is the punishment of sin, and Jesus had no sin. But he took on our punishment, so that by believing in him we could take on his righteousness and be made right with God.

When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross. Colossians 2:13-14
