 Shalom everyone, praise the Lord and thank you for joining class. On Monday we began studying Romans chapter 5. We'll continue studying Romans chapter 5 today and before we do that, can one of you please lead us in prayer, please? Anyone? Can you lead us in prayer? Juan Paul, can you lead us in prayer, please? Yes, prayer. Father, in heaven we thank you for this wonderful day you've given to us, Lord. We again come into the table of Master Lord for wisdom, knowledge, understanding and attitude skills. So Lord, use our teacher as a vessel to communicate what you've put onto her heart as in the advancement of the Kingdom Lord. I also pray for the learners, me inclusive Lord, to really put into what you're going to learn into consideration under the heart and also not to be here as only but also doers. I do pray in the name of the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit and everybody says amen. Amen, amen. Thank you, Lubega. So this is a recap in verses 1 to 4. Paul mentions the results of having been justified. He says one of the things that we have received as a result of us being justified by faith. So in the previous chapter he mentioned that we are not made righteous or we are not justified by keeping the law but through righteousness, by faith in Christ Jesus, through faith in Christ Jesus that we have been made righteous, we have been justified. And then he goes on to talk about in chapter 5 what we have received as a result of having been justified by faith in Christ Jesus. And in verses 5 to 8 Paul talks about the love that God has for us and he mentions Christ died for us. So what is the result of Christ's death? The result of Christ's death is that we have been reconciled back to God. He mentions that we were enemies with God. We were far away from God. We were in sin. But what happened as a result of Christ's death on the cross? He talks about that we have been reconciled to God and he mentions this in verses 9 to 11. So we look at verses 1 to 10 on Monday. We continue from verse 11 onwards. One of you please read Romans chapter 5 verse 11, please. Romans chapter 5 verse 11. And not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have now received the reconciliation. Therefore, just as through one man sin and... But this was 11 Rosalind, thank you. Oh, thank you. Oh God, thank you. Thank you. So in verses 6 to 11, Paul is basically saying that Christ died for us. So who did Christ died for? He says that Christ died for the ungodly, for those who are without strength, who are sinners, who are enemies with God. And also those who are, you know, far away from eternal life. So he says that we were saved from all of this and we were saved from eternal judgment as well. And in verse 12, he tells us more that has happened on the cross. So verses 12 to 21 is very unique. We don't find what Paul is writing here in any other place in the New Testament. We don't find what Paul is writing. In these verses, verses 12 to 21, we don't find it anywhere else in the New Testament. And, you know, Paul calls the truth or he refers to the truth that he's presenting in these verses 12 to 21 as the truth of identification. Okay, the truth of identification. Or he's presenting this truth as the identification, what is our identification, who we are in Christ. And Paul says that, you know, the truth that he presents here is he says that every person is affected by one man. And who is that one man? Adam. And he says what happened to that one man affected the rest of the human race. Similarly, he says what happened to the other man who is the other man he presents Jesus Christ. You know, what happened to the other man Jesus Christ or what the other man Jesus Christ brought for us is also made available to the rest of the human race. So in these verses, it's very interesting truths that Paul is presenting. And this passage, as I said, is very, very unique because Paul does not write or mention anywhere about this in the rest of scripture. And no one else in scripture in the New Testament will read about this. Of course, he mentions a little bit about this in 1 Corinthians chapter 15, which we will look at a little later on. You know, but here what Paul mentions is, you know, he's talking about identification, the truth of our identification. And he builds on this in Romans chapter six on how this truth of identification of who we are, you know, affects us as believers. So he is presenting the truth of identification here in Romans chapter five. And then in Romans chapter six, he goes on to present how this truth of identification affects the believers today. So we look at or we study Romans chapter five verses 12 to 21. We look at each verse in detail. So can somebody please read verse 12, Romans chapter five verse 12. Basically in chapter five verses 12 to 19, he's talking about who we are in Adam and who we are in Christ. So he's presenting our identification, truth of our identification of who we are in Adam and who we are in Christ. So verse 12, can one of you please read? Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world and death through sin. And that's David and that's death spread to all men because all sinned. Amen. Amen. Thank you, Lubega. So he policing sin came to the world through whom? To the one man came to the first man that is Adam and also through this one man, the first man Adam, that also came. Okay, because we know the wages of sin is death. So sin came through the first man Adam and also death came through sin. So from sin to death, you know, or between sin and death was all the problems. There was sickness, there's disease, there's demonic afflictions, oppressions, depression, suicide, you name it. You know, every kind of problems and difficulties that came because as a result of sin and between sin and death were all these problems that came about. He's not the author of sin. He's not the author of death. He's not the author of all of these problems and difficulties. It came as a result of one man's sin. He says that death spread to all men because all sin. It means that the sin that came through one man actually affected everyone, actually affected all of us. All the consequences of sin, including death, you know, it spread to everyone. Every man was affected or the whole human race was affected as a result of one man's sin. What's the theme then, one of you please? What's the theme, can anyone please? Or until the law sin was in the world, but sin is not included when there is no law. Amen. Thank you. So here it says sin was in the world, but people did not realize it. Okay. Sin was in the world even before the law was given. Sin was in the world, but before the law was given, people did not realize it. It was the law that made sin visible. It was a law that showed them what was right and what was wrong. It was the law that showed them that they were, you know, breaking the commandments that they were sinning against God. They were going against God, but sin could not be imputed or sin could not be held against people until the law came. Okay. Sin was there before the law. That's not mean that there was no sin before the law. No, there was sin before the law was given. But after the law was given, sin could be accounted for. Okay. Sin could be held against people. People could recognize or realize that they are breaking the law and because they're breaking the law, you know, there is a consequence. There is a punishment. So sin could be accounted or held against people and people could recognize that they were breaking the law. Was 14 in one of your precinct? Nevertheless, dead ring from Adam the Moses, even over those who had not seen according to the likeness of the transgression of Adam, who is the type of him who was to come. Amen. Thank you. So Paul is saying that reigned from Adam to Moses. Of course, the law came through Moses. And people, you know, it was then that the people realized that sin is held against them because of the law because they are not able to keep the law. They have broken the law. But even though they did not sin the way Adam sinned, you know, Adam's sin was explicit, explicit. It was very specific. A specific command was given to Adam and he disobeyed that command. And because of the sin, you know, and because of this disobedience, sin came into the world and also death. Okay. So sin and death passed on to everyone, even before the law, even though, you know, we don't have that. We didn't have a specific command like Adam that, you know, we have all sinned and we have all done that. That is the squeezing in God's sight. We have all broken God's heart. We have gone against his ways. And even though we did not have a specific command like Adam, Adam had a specific word, but, you know, the law was given only after Moses came, you know, it does not mean that those who were before the law was given, it does not mean that they did not sin or what they did was not sin. No, that's not right. Yes, they sinned. But, you know, they did not have that specific command. They did not know that they were breaking, you know, the law. They did not know that they were going against God's commands, is going against God's law. They did not know what they were doing was right or wrong. Okay. So he's saying that sin and death passed on to everyone, even before the law, because yes, we've all sinned, we've all done what was wrong in God's sight. So even though we did not have that specific command like Adam yet, you know, we have all sinned and that has rained over all of us. So he's saying, you can't say that, you know, we didn't have this, we can't do this, we can't do that. We shouldn't have that. We shouldn't do this. We shouldn't do that. Only after the law came, we know what we should be doing, what we shouldn't be doing. And of course Adam sinned, but Adam got a specific command from God and he disobeyed God. So you can't say that what we have done is sin. But he's saying irrespective of whether you got the specific command or not, or the law was given or not, you know, we have all sinned. Rain from Adam to Moses. And because of sin, that also rains over all of us. And he says Adam, who is a type, type means a shadow or an example of him who is to come. So suppose I say that, you know, Adam is type or a shadow or an example of him who was to come. Someone else who is to come or someone else who is going to come, who is a reality, someone who is bigger, someone who is greater. And that someone who is bigger, that someone who is greater, someone who is a reality is Jesus. He is the real man. Okay. So there is a resemblance what came through one man affected many, which means what resulted in Adam's sin or disobedience, you know, affected the rest of mankind. Sin came into the world as a result of that death. And between sin and death, everything that was, you know, that God did not create like sickness, pain, suffering. You know, all of that came into the world. So he's saying that, you know, yes, everything affected mankind because of one man's sin, because of one man's disobedience. In the same way, you know, what comes through the second man affects all of mankind. Sin of one man had affected the rest of mankind and also death came into place. But the same way, what came about through the second man and who's the second man, Jesus Christ affects many. Okay. So this is a resemblance that he is going to point out in this chapter. So he's drawing out parallels between, you know, what is the truth of our identification in Adam? What is that truth of our identification in Christ? What we inherited as a result of Adam's sin and what we inherited as a result of Christ death. So this is a resemblance that he is going to point out in this chapter. Okay. Verse 15. Can somebody read before that? Does anyone have any doubts? From verse 11 to 14. Any doubts? No. Okay. Can somebody read verse 15, please? Verse 15. But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God's grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man? Jesus Christ overflowed through the many. Amen. So he's saying the first man, Adam, what did he bring about? What was the result of his sin? What did he bring about? Trespass, offence and he brought about sin. Okay. So the first man, Adam brought trespass, offence and sin. And what does the second man or the last Adam bring? He brought the free gift. Okay. So the first man through offence brought death. The second man, you know, through his death on the cross that brings us the free gift. It brings us the grace of God, which abounds to many or the grace of God, which is a free gift to everyone. Again, he's drawing the parallel between the first man, the second man or the first Adam and the last Adam. Was 16, please? Can somebody read? And the gift is not like that, which came through the one who sinned for the judgment, which came from one offence resulted in condemnation. But the free gift, which came from many offenses resulted in justification. Amen. Thank you. So the free gift that came through the one man, Jesus Christ or the last Adam, you know, what did it result in? It resulted in justification. The free gift that came through the first, the last Adam resulted in justification. Okay. So through Adam, there is condemnation, but through Jesus, there is justification. Okay. So because of Adam's sin, because of Adam's offense, what was the result? Death and condemnation, eternal separation. But the free gift that is in Jesus Christ or through the death of Jesus, we have been justified or we have been made righteous in God's sight. And the free, this gift of justification and righteousness is a free gift that we receive. Okay. For 17, for if by the one man's offense, death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the one Jesus Christ. Amen. So again, here he's contrasting. Okay. You know, one man's offense, it brought about death to everyone. It brought condemnation to everyone. Okay. And through the one man's offense, that ruled. Okay. It means that ruled or that reigned that ruled in everyone. We became subjects. We became slaves to the consequences of that sin. And what is the consequences of that sin? The consequence of sin is death. So that reigned in all of us that ruled in all of us. Okay. That ruled or reigned also means that Satan had dominion over us. It also means that Satan ruled over us and sickness, sin, Satan and death ruled over the entire mankind, over every one of us. Because of Adam, we were made slaves to everything because, you know, because as a result of sin, we were made slaves to everything. But through the free gift of Jesus Christ, we have received an abundance of grace and we have received the gift of righteousness. Okay. So again, he's contrasting what we have received from Adam. Because of Adam, he says we have been made subjects of slaves to the consequences of that sin, that he disobeyed God. And as a result of that, that the food, which means Satan had dominion over us. He ruled over us. And, you know, we became slaves of sin, sickness and death, sin sickness and that food over all of us. And because of Adam, we were made slaves to everything. And as a result of what Christ came to give us as a result of Christ's death on the cross, what do we receive? We receive the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness. Okay. So through the last Adam, the second man, we receive abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness. And then he goes on to say what will happen as a result of this? What will happen as a result of us receiving this abundance of grace and this gift of righteousness? So he says the result of this is that we will reign in life through the one that is Jesus Christ. So how beautifully Paul presents. And he says, hey, because of Adam's sin, sin reigned in all of us. And because sin reigned in all of us, the consequence of sin is death and also death reigned in all of us. So we became slaves of sin, Satan and death. But he's saying that, you know, all of this reigned over us. We became slaves to it. But because of what Christ has done and because we receive the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness, what is the result? We will reign in life through the one Jesus Christ. Okay. So he's contrasting the reign of sin and the reign of life that is in Christ Jesus. So what has come to us through Jesus is the grace of God and the righteousness of God. So the grace of God and the righteousness of God that has come to us through Jesus, it puts us in a position of authority. It puts us in a position to rule. It puts us in a position to reign in life. Okay. It basically puts us in a position to rule and reign over everything that Adam has made us slaves to. So Adam made us slaves to sin, sickness and death. But he's saying that because of what Jesus did on the cross and we have received the abundance of his grace and the gift of righteousness, we can reign through life. Okay. So what can we reign or rule over in life? We are in a position to rule and reign over everything that Adam has made us a slave to. So we no longer need to be slaves of sickness. We no longer need to be slaves of sin and we no longer need to be slaves of death, the fear of amen. Just see how wonderfully Paul just brings about these truths. So in this life, you know, you and I have a mastery or we have an authority or we have dominion over everything that Adam subjected us under or everything that Adam made us slaves to because we have received the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness. So the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness that we receive in Christ puts us in a place of mastery of authority of dominion over everything that Adam has made us slaves of. So we are no longer slaves. We are rulers. We reign in life through what Christ has done on the cross. We rule over everything that Adam made us slaves to and Adam made us slaves and Christ has made us rulers. Christ has put us in a place of authority and in the place of dominion and a place of to be a place in a place where we can rule and reign over all these things. Wonderful. Isn't that you see an amen to that for all that Christ has purchased for us on the cross and where he's positioned us and what is our truth of our identification. So, you know, the fourth outcomes of being justified is that we have peace with God, which means we are one with God. We are reconciled to God. We are no longer enemies of God. We're no longer fighting with God, but we have peace with God and we have the peace of God. Also, another outcome of being justified is that we have access by faith and standing in grace. So here he's talking about our position or identification. We're highly favored by God. I already spoke about this and I gave you some more details about this in our class on Monday. Okay. And the third thing is we are in a place of rejoicing. Okay. The third outcome of being justified that's mentioned here is doing a place of rejoicing. We are rejoicing for the good things that God has planned for us, the good things that he's going to release upon our lives. The glory that he's going to release in and through our lives, the glory that he's kept for us to be released in and through our lives. You know, we are in this place of rejoicing. And the fourth outcome of being justified that's mentioned here is that we rejoice in tribulation, knowing that, you know, tribulations develop perseverance or endurance, endurance character and character. Okay. Any questions so far? Any doubts? We move on to verse 18. So can somebody please read verse 18? Anyone can read verse 18 please. Therefore, as though one man's offense judgment came to all men resulting in condemnation, even so through one man's righteous act, the free gift came to all men resulting in justification of life. So Paul is repeating the same thing again and again because he's saying, hey, I really want you to get this. You know, I really wanted to go into your core of your heart so to say a very being. So he's just repeating the same thing again and again. He's saying through one man's offense, you know, judgment came to all men which resulted in condemnation, death, pain, suffering. So even through that through one man's righteousness, we receive the free gift that came to all men which resulted in the justification of life and also that we can reign in life. Okay. So, you know, he's basically saying the same thing, repeating the same thing, but he's showing us the difference between what we are identification in Adam and our identification, a truth of our identification in Christ Jesus. Okay. What's his 1920 and 21 piece with somebody like that. 1920 and 21 was 19. For as by one man's disobedience, many were made sinners. So also by one man's obedience, many will be made righteous. Moreover, the law entered, the law entered that the offense might abound, but where sin abounded, grace abounded much more. So that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen. Because it was 19 repeating the same thing, making a contrast of what we inherited through the first man, Adam, because of his disobedience, we were all made sinners. And what we inherited through the last Adam, that is Jesus Christ, by his obedience, we have all been made righteous. And versus 20 and 21, he then brings in the conclusion. He says that sin and he talks about sin and that, you know, what they were doing already, you know, they were, you know, even before the law was given. There was sin, there was death, but the law highlighted that there is a consequences for sin. The law highlighted sin and the law also highlighted that there is a consequence for sin. But before the law was given, sin and death was already there because of Adam. So he says that there was much sin grace abounded and sin reigns, but grace also reigns resulting in righteousness. Okay. So even as sin reigns or sin makes us slaves to Satan and to death and, you know, to every kind of sickness and every kind of problems and difficulties says even in that, you know, how much more grace abound. So where there was much sin grace abounded, you know. So even in the midst of sin, we know that grace abounded because Jesus Christ came and as a result of his obedience, we are all made righteous. Okay. So the essence is this, yes, that sin and death reigns, but God's free gift of grace and righteousness through Jesus Christ gives us all eternal life. Okay. Gives us all or puts us in a place to rule, reign, to have authority and dominion over every sin, every sickness over Satan and over death. So the end result is that, you know, God's grace and God's work through Jesus Christ is overpowering. It supersedes everything that happened because of the disobedience of Adam, because of what, because of how sin and death came in through Adam. Okay. So God's grace and God's work through Jesus Christ overpowered, superseded everything that happened through sin and death through Adam. Okay. So here in chapter five Paul is basically telling us the redemption story, so to say. He's talking about what happened as a result of Adam's sin and what happened as a result of Jesus' death on the cross foot. Okay. So these are really powerful truths that, you know, we need to embrace. We need to embrace this truth that because of the grace of God and the gift of righteousness, we are going to rule in life or we are going to reign in life. Okay. So we need to think of ourselves like this, you know, I rule. I reign in life over everything that Adam put me subject to or everything that Adam put me under. I rule in reign in life or have dominion, I have authority over every sickness, over every oppression, over every depression, over every work of the enemy, over every assignment of the enemy, over every sin, over every weakness, over every wrong attitude that I have the authority and I can rule and reign in life. And also we need to think of ourselves that, you know, we are masters, we have the authority, we have dominion. We're actually seated, you know, our spiritual identification is that we are seated in heavenly places. We're seated in the right hand of God. We are in a place of authority and dominion over every principality, powers, darkness, forces of darkness, over everything that Adam has subjected us to or put us to be slaves under because we have received the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness. So just looking at the contrast that we have here of the first man, Adam and the last man, Jesus Christ, or, sorry. Is he the last man? The first man and the last man, the first Adam and the second Adam. No, the second Adam is the last Adam. So Adam's verse 15, Adam's sin brought death to many. And Jesus Christ brought the gift of grace to many. In verse 16, we see that Adam's sin brought judgment and condemnation and Jesus Christ took all our sin and, you know, released justification or because of what he did on the cross, taking upon himself our sin, we are justified, we are made righteous. It was 17. Adam's sin brought us under and in subjection to death, pain and suffering. But the last Adam, Jesus Christ, you know, released abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness, which enables us to read in life. It was 18. Adam's sin brought us under judgment and condemnation. But the last Adam, Jesus Christ brought about righteous, the righteous act that we did on the cross, brought the free gift of grace, which resulted in justification, which resulted in us being righteous and us receiving the life, which is the eternal life, the joy life, the God kind of life, the fullness of life that we have received. It was 19. You know, Adam's sin made us all sinners, but Christ's obedience makes all who believe in him as righteous as being justified before God or in right standing with God. So this is the truth of identification that he's bringing to us is drawing the parallels between the first man and, you know, first man Adam and the last man. We also see this truth of identification that Paul presents in 1st Corinthians chapter 15, verses 45 to 48. And it's the only place that Paul mentions the similarity. So we would read it. And, you know, we will draw out some learnings from that as well. So we just move away a little bit from Romans chapter 5 and go to 1st Corinthians chapter 15, verses 45 to 48 and just look at what Paul is writing about the first man Adam, the last man Adam, the first man and the second man. Okay. So can somebody read that please for us. And so it is written, the first man Adam became a living being. The last Adam became a life giving spirit. However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural and afterward the spiritual. The first man was of the earth made of dust. The second man is the Lord from heaven. As was the man of dust, so also are those who are made of dust. And as is the heavenly man, so also are those who are heavenly. And as we have born the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly man. Amen. Thank you Rosalind. Here's another place where Paul is drawing a similar picture like what we saw in Romans chapter 5, where Adam was a type of the man to come that is Jesus. And then he draws a contrast as we saw in Romans chapter 5. Okay. So he refers to Adam here as the first Adam, and he refers to Jesus Christ as the last Adam. So he says the first man Adam became a living being. And he says the last man Adam became a life giving spirit. Okay. So he's saying the last Adam means in Jesus, there is an end to the Adam's race. Doesn't mean that, you know, there is technically that, you know, people are not being born on this earth. No, Adam's race continues technically. People are still born in Adam's race, but he's talking about the spiritual Adam's race. Okay. That brings an end to the natural. Okay. In verse 46, he speaks of the natural and the spiritual. In the natural Adam's race continues, technically people are still being born into Adam's race, but spiritually in Christ, you know, we are born in Christ. He is the last Adam. Okay. So we no longer identify with the natural man. We now identify with the, we identify spiritually with the last Adam, who is Jesus Christ. And verse 47, you know, he refers to Jesus as the second man. He says the first man was natural. So the first man is Adam. He says the first man is natural and of the earth. And the second man who is, he's referring to as Jesus is from heaven. So he's basically saying there are two races, so to speak. Okay. Two race. There's one race of people who are earthly, who are of the first Adam. And there's another race of people who are spiritually, who are spiritual, who are in Christ, who are from above, who are born from above, who identify with the kingdom of God, the kingdom of heaven, and are heavenly. Okay. And for the people who are of this other race, who are spiritual, who are in Christ, who are from above, heavenly, for these people, it's the end of the Adam's race. Okay. It's the end of the Adam's race. It means they no longer identify with the Adam's race. They are part of a culture, a lifestyle, an identity, a thought process, thought progression, the thought framework that is all kingdom minded. That is of the kingdom of God and the kingdom of heaven. So Jesus is the second man of the new race. Okay. He's the second man of the new race, which is the spiritual race that we're talking about, born from above and heavenly. So people born of the second man, they are also spiritual and they are also born of heaven, which means that now we are no longer gratifying the desires of the flesh, the desires of our, sorry, the desires of the world. We are gratifying the desires of the spirit man. We are led by the spirit. We walk in the spirit. We keep in step with the spirit. He was 48. He says those who are natural, they bear the image of Adam. They are like him, whereas as those who are, whereas as the heavenly man, so also are those who are heavenly. Okay. So those who are natural, they are identified with the things of this world, the lifestyle of this world, the thought processes of this world, the culture of this world is just seen in and through them. But we who are born again, identify with the spiritual man, identify with Jesus Christ, who is the second man, you know, because we are born spiritually, we are born from above, born from heaven. He says that, you know, you know, we bear his image. So those who are natural bear the image of man, that is Adam. They are like him in the way they do things, in the way they act, you know, they are slaves to sin, to sickness, to death, to Satan. But whereas those who are, you know, spiritual, born spiritually, you know, we bear the image of the heavenly man. So we are also heavenly and we have the image of the one who is from heaven, which means that we, in our culture, lifestyle thought processes, everything we identify with Christ, we represent him, we represent the kingdom of God and the kingdom of heaven. Okay. So West 4090 says, we shall also bear, which actually in Greek, it does not have a future to it, but it says, now we bear. Okay. It means now we will show forth. So now we need to show forth that, you know, we are not people of this world, even though we live in this world. We identify, we are kingdom citizens, we identify with the kingdom of God, the kingdom of heaven, and we identify with that culture and with that lifestyle. So it says it's not something that is in the future, you know, our spiritual inheritance that we will be transformed totally to be like Christ is that something in the future, but it also has a bearing now. It also has a present tense reality that we are supposed to show forth, you know, our spiritual nature that we are from heaven, that we are born from heaven, even as we live here on this earth. So here in this verse is bringing about a wonderful contrast. He's talking about the first man, the first Adam, which is a natural man, he's talking about the second Adam, the second man, which is the spiritual man. So he says the first Adam is a man from earth, and he says the second Adam is a man from heaven. He says in Adam, we all die, but in the second Adam, we all live. Okay. And the first Adam, we are brought under slavery to all of those things which I mentioned. But in the second man, the second Adam, you know, we are born of heaven, we are spiritual, we are from heaven. And hence we have to rule and reign in life because of the gift of righteousness that has been given to us. Paul is writing all this to explain to us what has happened to us because of Jesus Christ. Okay. So look at how wonderfully he just presents this truth of identification. So I hope we, even as we've heard this truth of identification, that, you know, we will embrace this truth that because the grace of God and gift of righteousness, we are going to rule in life. And we would begin to operate out of that place where we can rule and reign in life over everything that Adam, the first Adam has put us under. Any questions in chapter five? Any questions? No. Okay. There are no questions then with any class. Thank you all for joining class. Have a blessed weekend. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Stop it.
