This chapter begins with Paul sharing the benefits to people who have faith in Jesus Christ and His death and resurrection. We are justified, "just as if I have never sinned." We have peace with God. We have access to God by faith. We have grace which enables us to stand, and we can rejoice because we have hope for the glory of God, and we can rejoice in our sufferings because they make us more like Christ. Paul then shared that it was because of God's love for us, even though we were sinners, God showed us how much He loves us by having Jesus die for us. One other benefit in being a Christian, we do not have to fear the wrath of God, because we are justified by the blood of Christ. The second half of the chapter compared the first man, Adam, from whom sin and death came, to Jesus who through his death and resurrection brought forgiveness and everlasting life. Adam disobeyed the command of God, Jesus obeyed all the commands of God. Paul then mentioned that the law came after Adam, which showed men their sin, 5:20b, "but where sin increased, grace increased all the more, so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
