Condemnation linked with justification

[FineLinen]

"Therefore, as one trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men." ~Romans 5:18

Note: Condemnation for ALL MEN: Justification for ALL men.

This free-flowing gift imparts to us much more than what was given to us through the one who sinned. For because of one transgression, we are all facing a death sentence with a verdict of “guilty!” But this gracious gift leaves us free from our many failures and brings us into the perfect righteousness of God—acquitted with the words “not guilty!”

Death once held us in its grip, and by the blunder of one man, death reigned as king over humanity. But now, how much more are we held in the grip of grace and continue reigning as kings in life, enjoying our regal freedom through the gift of perfect righteousness in the one and only Jesus, the Messiah!

In other words, just as condemnation came upon all people through one transgression, so through one righteous act of Jesus’ sacrifice, the perfect righteousness that makes us right with God and leads us to a victorious life is now available to all. One man’s disobedience opened the door for all humanity to become sinners.

So also one man’s obedience opened the door for many to be made perfectly right with God and acceptable to him. ~TPT

Agreed. . .and that through faith in and trust on the person and atoning sacrifice (blood, Romans 3:25) of Jesus the Christ for remission of one's sin and salvation from God's condemnation.

The Lord Jesus Christ, as the Last Adam, undoes all that the broken first Adam has done in exceeding degrees of triumph.

The parallel requires descent, from Adam and Christ.

All those born of Adam receive condemnation.
All those born of Christ receive justification.

All those born of Christ receive justification.

The entire mass of sinners in Adam 1 (the polus), are the mass of sinners (the polus)
made righteous in the Last Adam.

Every last one restored.

The whole context of our Father's purposes in the Son of His love point us to His great love for lost sinners. That love never fails, ever.

The perfect equation, declared by St. Paul, most assuredly leaps from the page as part of the whole New covenant.

The the entire Covenant is the love of God announced to a guilty world.

Not judgment, not condemnation: His love

 

[FineLinen]

"The love that brought forth the existence of all things, changes not through the fall of its creatures, but is continually at work, to bring back all fallen nature and creature to their first state of goodness. God's providence, from the fall to the restitution of all things, is doing the same thing, as when He said to the dark chaos of fallen nature, Let there be light; He still says, and will continue saying the same thing, till there is no evil of darkness left in all that is nature and creature. God creating, God illuminating, God sanctifying, God threatening and punishing, God forgiving and redeeming, is but one and the same essential, immutable, never ceasing working of the divine nature." ~William Law

Justification is not unconditional. It is conditional on the sinner believing the Gospel, repenting of sin and receiving Christ as Saviour.

That suggests the universalism heresy.

Does this include the 15K children who die every day of every year under age 5 worldwide??

Perhaps the age of accountability dogma is advantageous (LOL) ?

"He pre-destined us to be adopted by Himself as sons through Jesus Christ--such being His gracious will and pleasure-- to the praise of the splendour of His grace with which He has enriched us in the beloved One. It is in Him, and through the shedding of His blood, that we have our deliverance--the forgiveness of our offences--so abundant was God's grace, the grace which He, the possessor of all wisdom and understanding, lavished upon us, when He made known to us the secret of His will. And this is in harmony with God's merciful purpose for the government of the world when the times are ripe for it--the purpose which He has cherished in His own mind of restoring the whole creation to find its one Head in Christ; yes, things in Heaven and things on earth, to find their one Head in Him. In Him we have been made heirs, having been chosen beforehand in accordance with the intention of Him whose might carries out in everything the design of His own will, so that we should be devoted to the extolling of His glorious attributes--we who were the first to fix our hopes on Christ. ~R.F.Weymouth

Weymouth is speaking of those who have been born again of the spirit of God. He is not talking about the unconverted who have rejected the Gospel.

Yes, Adam’s act of disobedience, by alienating humanity from God, caused all men to become sinners. Jesus’s act of obedience, by reconciling man with God, causes men to become righteous. We can refuse to be reconciled but it’s open to all. It comes by faith; when we believe in Him, God becomes our God again. Jesus reveals the true God, worth believing in.

The whole creation being restored exceeds the malista first-fruits.
