Listen "No Justification Without Representation? (Romans 5)"
Episode Synopsis
This week on Tough Texts, Scott and Dan explore Romans 5, a chapter that addresses the concept of original sin and its implications for humanity. They discuss how Paul's writings can make readers uncomfortable by pushing them beyond their natural understanding of justice and righteousness. The conversation delves into the roles of Adam and Christ, contrasting the spread of sin through one man's trespass with the abounding grace offered through Christ's righteousness. How can one man's trespass lead to condemnation for all, and how does this relate to the grace offered through Christ? What does it mean for grace to "abound all the more" in the face of sin? Tune in as Scott and Dan unpack these tough questions, contrast the roles of Adam and Christ, and reveal how, through faith, the overwhelming grace of God triumphs over sin.
