Romans 5:17
Arabic TMA 2021 (المعنى الصحيح لإنجيل المسيح)
إنّ خَطيئةَ إنسانٍ واحِدٍ، أي أبينا آدمَ، جَعَلَت المَوتَ يُسَيطِرُ على البَشَر. ولكنّ فَضلَ اللهِ الوَفيرَ، وهِبَةَ الرِّضا علينا هُما أعظَمُ مِن خَطيئةِ آدم بكَثيرٍ، ويُسبِغُهُما على كُلِّ مَن يؤمنُ بالإنسانِ الواحِدِ المُنتَظَرِ القَديرِ، سَيِّدِنا عيسى المَسيحِ، فيَجعَلُهُم أشرافًا في دارِ البَقاءِ.
What Does This Mean?
This verse from Romans compares the effect of Adam's sin to Jesus' gift of grace. It says that just as one person’s disobedience brought death, now many can receive life through the righteousness given by Jesus Christ.
Explained for Children
Imagine you have a cookie jar. If someone takes all the cookies without asking (like Adam did), everyone loses out on yummy treats. But if someone shares lots of new delicious cookies with you (like Jesus does with grace and forgiveness), it makes up for what was lost before, and now everyone can enjoy life more.
Historical Background
The Apostle Paul wrote Romans around AD 57 to the Christian community in Rome. He aimed to clarify the relationship between law and faith, addressing a diverse audience of both Jewish and Gentile believers with varying levels of familiarity with Mosaic Law.
Living It Out Today
Consider a scenario where someone has been unfairly treated or feels they are far from God due to past mistakes. Romans 5:17 reminds us that through Jesus’ sacrifice, we can receive grace and righteousness, turning our lives around and allowing us to live in a way that honors God.
