Get in the Right Pipeline

[S] Romans 5:18 --
 18So then as through one transgression there resulted condemnation to all men, even so through one act of righteousness there resulted justification of life to all men.

[O] Before contemplating on how a single person -- Jesus who also was fully God -- can save the world, we must first understand that through another single person's act of disobedience, the whole world got on the crash course just waiting for the doom's day to take place.  Of course this is according to God's message in the Bible and if I deny that fact, then I will live as if everything is fine and won't feel a need to get saved PERIOD, let alone through Jesus Christ.  Grasping this overall cycle from start to finish is key in understanding how apart from our choice or control, we're already in this pipeline of passing through the first entry point of heading to one of the final points -- 1) face the consequence of the condemnation introduced by the first transgression; or 2) justification of life by the righteous act by another person, Jesus Christ. The choice is mine.

[A] Re-organize my thoughts on how I may clearly present this concept of the saving act of Jesus Christ who, likewise how Adam's disobedience caused all of us to face the consequence of spiritual death, alone provides a way out for us to avoid the deadly consequence of Adam's act.

[P] Dear Father, as much as the Book of Romans covers the core of Your saving grace, may my mind clearly understand and prepare such that I may present this clearly to those who need to hear it.  In Jesus' name.  Amen.
