Through one person

Through the sin of one man, Achan,

all the people of Israel suffered distress (Josh. 7:1, 25).

Because of the unrepented sin of one person,

the entire community (family, church, etc.) can suffer.

Through the sin of one man, Adam,

death came to all people (Rom. 5:12).

I am one who spiritually died

because of Adam's disobedience (Eph. 2:1).

Through the grace of one man, Jesus Christ,

the gift of eternal life overflowed to many (Rom. 5:15, 21; 6:23).

Through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ,

I receive forgiveness of sins and righteousness (4:25),

and eternal life abounds.
