Charles Spurgeon Commentary Romans 5:21

"that, as sin reigned in death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." — Romans 5:21 (ASV)

That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.

Do you know, dear friends, by personal experience, all about this of which we have been reading? I know that many of you do.

I pray to God that all did,–that they understood, by a living faith, what it is to be justified, having first understood, by sorrowful experience, what a sense of condemnation the guilty soul must feel.

May the Lord bring you all to himself, by Jesus Christ! Amen.

That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.

The purpose of the whole chapter is to comfort believers in the time of trouble by the fact of the great love of God to them in the person of Jesus Christ their Lord and Saviour.
