Jesus Our Overpayment - Pastor Ekpenyong

Romans 5:15 TPT “Now, there is no comparison between Adam’s transgression and the gracious gift that we experience. For the magnitude of the gift far outweighs the crime. It’s true that many died because of one man’s transgression, but how much greater will God’s grace and his gracious gift of acceptance overflow to many because of what one Man, Jesus, the Messiah, did for us!”

It takes a revelation of the activity and consequence of the fall of Adam to truly understand the import of the obedience and gift of righteousness of our LORD and Saviour Jesus the Christ.

Condemnation and separation from God came into the world because of the disobedience of Adam.

No other sinful act no matter how sordid or debasing was of greater consequence than that first act of treason from Adam which brought sin into the world.

In order words, it cant be worse than what it already was.

It is only human nature that grades acts of sin from bizarre to acceptable. Before God, they are all fruits of the FALL.

It is in the same vein and of even greater consequence that the obedience of our LORD Jesus who is the second and last Adam, brought righteousness and justification to the world.

He became an excess payment, because the magnitude of His sacrifice and gift was in excess and far outweighed the penalty and consequence of sin.

The Adam you choose to identify with determines your reality.

For the New Creation who is one with Christ and bears His identity, there’s no separation with the Father inspite of how you feel at any given moment.

You are loved, accepted and BLESSED.

Glory!
