"2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God." If we have received the Spirit of God, then his power and grace may also follow, if we follow God with his Spirit. Then we will have the hope to inherit eternal life in his kingdom. There are four levels in heaven. The basic two levels are, new earth and new heavens. The glory of God will be manifesting in new heavens.

"3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;" Even though tribulations are sufferings, they are the steps that we climb up to the heavens. So, the next level will come through tribulation. "2 Corinthians 4: 17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;" So, we may even glory in such suffering by tribulations; it is our cross.

"4&5. 4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope: 5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us." The word hope has a deeper meaning than that we wish something better may happen to us. Let us see a verse to comprehend the meaning of hope. "Philippians 1:20 According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death. 21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain." Paul wrote this out of his experience. In order for us to come to this level, the Holy Ghost must come in us, not to give gifts, but to impart the love of Christ in our hearts. In a way, God himself that is possible as the seed of God should be abide in us.

"6&7. 6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly." Ungodly people were without strength to live a righteous life. So, in God's time Jesus died to give them strength. Then, how does his death bring them strength? He has resurrected in the omnipotent Spirit as God, and gives them the holy Spirit and power to whomsoever ask for them. "7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die." Jesus Christ has done this for the sinners of the world also, to redeem them; and so, now we have strength. In order to give us grace, God did not have to become as a man and die. But in order to make us his Sons, he had to set a precedent that he dies as a man, and the Man become the Son of God, so that we may follow the suit; that is, as a man/woman we also can become Sons/daughters of God.  

"8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." While we were yet sinners refer to the time that we were committing sins, which we do not do them anymore. If we are still doing sins, then it is not past, so it will not apply to us. Christ must have given us strength and we would have stopped our sins through his death. If Christ’s death has not changed you, his death has not applied to you yet.

"9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him." Our preachers teach 'justified by his blood' as that Jesus calls you just while you are still committing sin, and make God and Jesus as fake liars. Or they make the blood of Jesus cheap and make us walk over it. They will be severely punished for their sins. "1 John 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light (that is, if we live as the Man Jesus lived), ... the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin, (which include all unrighteousness, which is the instinct to commit sin)." Those who have arrived at this status are saved from the wrath of God, and it is through Jesus Christ. Here are c few more verses: 2 Corinthians 5:14,15, 1 Peter 2:24, Colossians 1:22, and Hebrews 9:14, "How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?." Dead works are ceremonial observations or worships.

"10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life." We are reconciled by his death; and it is in previous verses. By his life means, if he lives in us; with proof that we live like him; then we are saved.

"11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement." What is atonement? "Exodus 29:31 ... thou shalt take the ram of the consecration, and seethe (cook) his flesh in the holy place. 32 And Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram, and the bread that is in the basket, by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 33 And they shall eat those things wherewith the atonement was made, to consecrate and to sanctify them:" So, the atonement is the meat and the bread; they are consecrated and sanctified; the people must eat them in order to be consecrated and sanctified. "John 6:53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. 54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day." This is our atonement. In short, if Jesus Christ lives in us, we have atonement; and so, it is his abiding.

Living like Adam is eternal death; Living like Jesus is eternal Life

"13&14. 13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. 14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come." God gave a commandment to Adam; he did not obey it, it was sin, and sin brought death to the Spirit. After that people were born without Spirit, only with soul and body. God is righteous and holy. God gave people good conscience to show them righteousness and holiness of God. Since Cain, people turned their good conscience into evil, except a very few. But there was not a command or law given to them for calibration at that time. So, the sins of the people were not counted against them for punishment in worldly level. So, we may say that sin was not counted. But God has the account of us all, to reward everybody according to what we have done; and it is in eternity. Since God gave them good conscience, it was applied from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, until the written law was given for calibration. Adam and Eve have sinned, the next creation Jesus does not have sin.

"15-17. 15 But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many." Here are two things. 1) The offence, the breach of trust or disobedience brings eternal death to many. 2) This is the combination of two things. One is the grace of God, and the second is the gift of grace by the Man Jesus Christ are upon many. "16 And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification." The Spirit of Adam, who sinned, has received eternal death even for one sin. But the grace of God stops all sins, and the gift of Man Jesus Christ can cleanse all our sins. The sinners are converted and are made as righteous persons unto justification. Here, the gift of grace the Man Jesus Christ is by his shed blood on the cross, by which Jesus Christ forgives all past sins. "17 For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)" This is the most exciting and at the same time very deceptive message in the mouth of preachers. They use Adam and Jesus Christ for this teaching. They say that because of Adam's offence, death came and reigned the world. So, if we go to hell and to punishment, it is because of Adam, and not because of us. This teaching is from Satan himself, and we hear it from our beloved preachers, who are his servants. And they use the same logic to say, that we are going to heaven because we believe in Jesus Christ, who did not sin, and because of this, we are all going to heaven. This is the same deception of Satan that we hear from our beloved preachers. We are so happy and are satisfied. But God uses apostle Paul as a stumbling block for false preachers and false believers to be deceived and be condemned. Here Adam and Jesus were cited for us to learn. Yes, Adam did sin, and after that we all are born with no Spirit; and that is why Jesus Christ tell us to be born again of the Spirit, to inherit the kingdom of God. If we ask, God will give the Spirit, may be grace also, so that we may live in righteousness; it must be and will be the proof in our life, and it is done by the Lord Jesus Christ. But preachers say that we are declared righteous by Jesus Christ, even as we are yet committing sin. No!, Jesus Christ reigns our life in righteousness. Reigns means he rules our life, it will have proof. All preachers who say that God calls sinning people are righteous, are servants of Satan. They lie.

"18&19. 18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. 19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous." These verse are also the same as the previous verses. Most preachers say that we are all going to hell because Adam has sinned, as if our sins will not count. And they also say, since Jesus Christ did not sin, we all are going to heaven. They do not know whether they are going to hell or heaven. Verse 12 says, "and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:" So, not only Adam, but all have sinned. The gift or the power of God converts his people, who determine to obey him, to live in righteousness or just, in their life. They will inherit the kingdom of God in heaven.
