Bebe's interpretation
As Paul explains, the free gift, Jesus' choice, is different from Adam's sin. While Adam's actions caused many people to die, Jesus' act of grace blessed many. The free gift of God's grace provides everyone with the opportunity for life, for salvation. By trusting in Christ, all will receive this gift, rather than facing death as a result of Adam's introduction of sin into the world.
Jesus transforms death into life and transforms sin into righteousness. By accepting the gift of salvation offered through Jesus, we are given access to an eternal, abundant life. This new life, filled with grace and peace, is available to all who trust in Him. Through faith in Jesus, we are made into a new creation, adopted as children of God, and made joint-heirs with Christ.
We have undergone a transformation from being in Adam to being in Christ. This has resulted in a shift from a state of being dead in sin to being alive in Him. Our association with Christ has also provided us with the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, granting us access to the throne of grace in moments of need. Through faith, we have become a chosen people, designated as a royal priesthood, a holy nation, and a possession belonging to God.
