Overflowing Kindness and Blessing
Romans 5:17
For if by one man's offense death reigned by one…


All fulness of grace in Christ (Colossians 1:19; Ephesians 3:8). Justifying grace, sanctifying grace, glorifying grace (Romans 8:29, 30). Grace for grace (John 1:16), or grace upon grace (Philippians 2:27). He gives more grace (James 4:6); and makes all grace to abound (2 Corinthians 9:8). He gives His sheep not only life, but life more abundantly (John 10:10). Ezekiel's river realised (Ezekiel 47:1-5; cf. Ephesians 3:19).

(T. Robinson, D. D.)
