Romans 5

Having made the case that we need salvation that can only come by believing in God and receiving His grace, Paul then pointed to Jesus' death as the means by which we are justified. He showed that sin entered the world through Adam and the consequences of sin were removed by Jesus.

Sin goes back to the Garden of Eden and every one of us is born sinful because we have all descended from Adam. Jesus came to die on a cross to pay the debt for every sin that anyone ever committed. Each of us is invited to accept Jesus and the offer of eternal life that He gives. We have all sinned. We all need a Savior. There is only One who can save us and His name is Jesus.
