Humanity’s Sin through Adam and Grace and Life through Christ
A reading from Saint Paul’s Letter to the Romans 5, 12 – 21:
Therefore, just as through one person sin entered the world, and through sin, death, and thus death came to all, inasmuch as all sinned–for up to the time of the law, sin was in the world, though sin is not accounted when there is no law. But death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who did not sin after the pattern of the trespass of Adam, who is the type of the one who was to come.
But the gift is not like the transgression. For if by that one person’s transgression the many died, how much more did the grace of God and the gracious gift of the one person Jesus Christ overflow for the many. And the gift is not like the result of the one person’s sinning. For after one sin there was the judgment that brought condemnation, but the gift, after man transgressions, brought acquittal. For if, by the transgression of one person, death came to reign through that one, how much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of justification come to reign in life through the one person Jesus Christ.
In conclusion, just as through one transgression condemnation came upon all, so through one righteous act acquittal and life came to all. For just as through the disobedience of one person the many were made sinners, so through the obedience of one, the many will be made righteous. The law entered in so that transgression might increase but, where sin increased, grace overflowed all the more, so that, as sin reigned in death, grace also might reign through justification for eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Many people today do not believe and they do not pray. Many live in sin and they never repent of their sins. So what do we need in the world today? We need a renewal of all the people of the world. We need to pray that the Holy Spirit come mightily upon the world and that the people can wake up and turn away from their sinful ways and come and follow Our Lord and Savior. We need a new awakening for sure. Let us pray for this every day that soon it will happen.
Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
“I call you My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters who are attached to Me to understand that sin entered the world through the sin of Adam and Eve. Because of their sin, death entered the world. Before this sin people were not going to die but the punishment for that sin was death to all the descendants of Adam and Eve. To make it worst, all Adam and Eve’s descendants were now prone to sin and all the people committed sin and were estranged from their heavenly Father. There was no salvation for these people.
It was because of this horrible situation that had happened because of sin, that I, your Savior and the Son of God, was sent into the world to offer a perfect sacrifice on the cross to atone for all your sins and to win for you all the graces you need for your salvation. Heaven was opened by My sacrifice and all who follow Me will be there one day. I love you all and I call you to pray every day.”
