NOTICE the “much mores” of Romans 5. The super abounding grace of God to the believer is set forth most strikingly in these five “much mores.” verse 8 and 9: We are justified through the blood of Christ, much more shall we be saved from future wrath. Verse 10: Reconciled to God by the death of His Son, much more shall we be saved through all the trials of the way because He lives for us on high. verse 15: By Adam’s one offense the race came under sentence of death. Much more shall grace abound to all those who trust Christ. verse 17: Death reigned over all because of one man’s sin. Now all reign in life who have received God’s gift by faith: “Much more they... shall reign in life.” verse 20: “Where sin abounded, grace did much more abound.”
“Grace is the sweetest sound
That ever reached our ears;
When conscience charged and justice frowned,
‘Twas grace removed our fears.
‘Tis freedom to the slave,
‘Tis light and liberty;
It takes its terror from the grave,
From death its victory.
Grace is a mine of wealth
Laid open to the poor;
Grace is the sov’reign spring of health;
‘Tis LIFE FOR EVERMORE.”
