[ Romans 5:12 - 5:19 ] - hymn 294 Consequently, just as one trespass resulted in condemnation for all people, so also one righteous act resulted in justification and life for all people. [ ROMANS 5:18 ] In Oregon¡¯s Malheur National Forest, a fungus popularly known as the honey mushroom spreads through tree roots across 2,200 acres, making it the largest living organism ever found. It¡¯s been ¡°weaving its black shoestring filaments¡± through the forest for more than two millennia, killing trees as it grows. Its shoestring filaments, called ¡°rhizomorphs,¡± tunnel as deep as ten feet into the soil. And although the organism is incredibly large, it began with a single microscopic spore! The Bible tells us of a single act of disobedience that caused widespread condemnation and a single act of obedience that reversed it. The apostle Paul contrasted two individuals—Adam and Jesus (ROMANS 5:14). Adam¡¯s sin brought condemnation and death ¡°to all people¡± (V. 12). Through one act of disobedience, all people were made sinners and stood condemned before God (V. 17). But He had a means of dealing with humanity¡¯s sin problem. Through the righteous act of Jesus on the cross, God provides eternal life and a right standing before Him. Christ¡¯s act of love and obedience was powerful enough to overcome Adam¡¯s one act of disobedience—providing ¡°life for all people¡± (V. 18). Through His death on the cross, Jesus offers eternal life to any- one who puts their faith in Him. If you haven¡¯t received His forgiveness and salvation, may you do so today. If you¡¯re already a believer, praise Him for what He¡¯s done by His great act of love!
