Romans chapter 5, starting at verse 12. In this very fascinating portion of Scripture, which is often overlooked because of its complexity, we are again brought face-to-face with one of the great, great realities of salvation, and that is this: that one man, Jesus Christ, by one work, his death and resurrection, has effected salvation for all who believe.
The message that Paul wants to communicate throughout the whole epistle to the Romans is that forgiveness of sin and access to God is provided through one person, Jesus Christ. That flies in the face of Jewish belief and of all religion. For men have always believed that if they're going to be forgiven of their sin, and if they're going to have access to God and enter into a right relationship to Him, whoever God is in their religious scheme, it's going to be because of something they do. It's going to be because of some level of virtue, some amount of goodness, some religious achievement, some religious ritual and ceremony in which they engage.
