What does Romans chapter 5 say about grace where sin abounds?
Scripture declares that where sin abounded, grace is always greater; God’s grace abounds even more. Paul’s teaching in Romans 5 is that grace surpasses sin’s abundance. The context contrasts this age of grace with the later outpouring of wrath after the Church’s outcalling before the tribulation.
Les explains that Romans chapter 5 declares where sin abounded, grace is always greater and abounds even more. He says God tonight is a God of grace, not currently pouring out His wrath. He notes that grace has ended with the outcalling of the Church before the tribulation began, and now the wrath of the Lamb is being poured out. Les then cites the statement, “for the great day of his wrath is come, and who shall be able to stand?” He also points to Psalms 2, where after Jew and Gentile reject the King, God pours out His vexation and wrath.
