Sin-defeating Grace

The sermon title was "sin-defeating grace" and the Bible reading was Romans 5:12 onwards. I read it from "The Message", a modern language paraphrase. There were some great "sound bites"! For instance,

When it's sin versus grace, grace wins hands down.

One man said no to God and put many people in the wrong;
one man said yes to God and put many people in the right.

All that sin can do is threaten us with death, and that's the end of it. Grace, because God is putting everything together again through the Messiah, invites us to life - a life that goes on and on and on, world without end.

Hope you like the quotes!
