Adam dan Kristus: Studi Komparasi Antara Penghukuman Dan Pembenaran Allah Berdasarkan Roma 5:18-19

Abstract

Salvation in Jesus Christ is only obtained by sinners through faith. Without faith in Jesus Christ, no one will be saved. God only justifies those who believe in Jesus Christ, so they will not receive God's wrath. By inductive method, this article explores the truth of apostle Paul's statement in Romans 5:18-19; that disobedience of first Adam made all men being sinful and cursed. On the other hand, the Jesus Christ's obedience as the second / last Adam has made sinful men being right before God and have hope for eternal life. Paul gives a comparison between Adam and Christbetween the first Adam and the last Adam. The first Adam has caused men (his descendants) commit to sin, but the second/last Adam has finally provided a way out of God's punishment and wrath. This is a great grace of God.
