Is the grace of God greater than Adam's sin?

Yes. Paul constantly drives home that the grace of God, which compensates for Adam's fall, is much greater than anything Adam did. Although death reigned as king through Adam's one offense, God's free gift brings justification, restoring believers by His judicial decree.

Les teaches from Romans that Paul is constantly driving home the point that the grace of God, which compensates for the fall of Adam, is greater than anything Adam did. Because of one man's offense—Adam—death reigned as a king, but much more does God's grace provide the way back. The free gift is of many offenses unto justification, and believers are justified by a judicial decree of the Almighty God Himself, restoring them back as Adam was before he fell. Les notes that while believers still sin, God has made compensation for all that by virtue of His advocacy at the Father's right hand, which will come at a later time.
