This verse connects the entry of death into the world through Adam with the promise of resurrection through Christ. While death entered through one man, the resurrection is made possible through another—Jesus Christ. This contrast highlights the victory that believers have in Christ. Death, which seemed to have a firm hold on humanity, has been undone through Christ’s sacrifice and resurrection. Through Him, we can have eternal life. This passage underscores the centrality of Christ in the plan of salvation. The resurrection is a gift made available to all who believe in Jesus. This verse invites us to place our faith in the one who has conquered death and who promises resurrection to all who trust in Him. It reassures us that death no longer has the final say, and that in Christ, we have hope beyond the grave.
John 14:2
In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
1 Corinthians 15:42
So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable.
2 Corinthians 4:14
Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.
Romans 5:14
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.
