The whole human race died by the sin of one man, Adam. The gift of God’s grace came by the one man, Jesus Christ. This grace has brought spiritual life to many. Therefore, by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone the many will receive the gift of eternal life by being in Christ by spiritual birth rather than being in Adam by physical birth. Instead of being children of Adam and represented by him, Christians are represented by Christ and are children of God. Praise God that we can reverse the effect of Adam’s original sin by faith in Christ. By the grace of God we can regain the paradise that was lost by our first representative Adam.
In the book of Romans, Paul lays out the gospel of Jesus Christ. In this gospel he describes only two categories of people... sinners or saints. The wrath of God is on all sinners and eternal life is the free gift for all who are saints. Romans 6:23 states it this way: For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 5:15
Romans 5:15 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, overflow to the many!
