Romans 5:12-21
Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam, who is a pattern of the one to come.
For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God’s abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ!
Consequently, just as one trespass resulted in condemnation for all people, so also one righteous act resulted in justification and life for all people. For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.
The law was brought in so that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more, so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
But how can one man's death result in pardon for millions of others? The key lies in the solidarity of the human race. Sin, disobedience, began with one man (Adam) and spread to all his descendants. We all share the 'disease' and its inevitable consequence, the reign of sin and death which cuts us off from God. On the same principle, Jesus' righteous act, his obedience, has made acquittal and life available to all. The effect of God's gift far outweighs the effect of 'one man's sin.'
Why?
Sin came before the Law is following with Adam before there is the law came, sins are existing and death is reign over all men.
One man brings sins into human beings, so as one man Jesus Christ beings grace to all people.
Sins are more show the grace of God is more. God prefers to love us first instead of judging us.

前面說到以神為樂，今天為什麼我們可以得赦免罪，以代表性來說明。首領一人代表一國，一族。
原罪：來自亞當，代表以後要來的全人類，亞當受到死亡的控制。亞當的生命中有抵擋神的本質，所以人都有此傾向。眾人都犯了罪，虧缺了神的榮耀。
耶穌基督順服神，我們願意以耶穌基督為代表，我們也成為順服神的人。耶穌基督無法在我們生下來就屬於基督，而是必須我們願意以基督為首。
做王：我們的生命中被誰控制，原來我們都被死亡的律轄制，使人恐懼、害怕。換成耶穌基督為王，我從死亡中得釋放，得自由了。我們已經在生命中自由了，可以選擇自己的路，難道還要回到死亡的轄制嗎？亞當本來如神的，是他自己選擇了撒旦。我們豈還自己做主呢?
不如：恩賜超過過犯，救恩超越罪所帶出的結果，讓我們從原來的欠債，變成豐盛有餘。恩典超過罪，不僅得救，而且加倍的得豐盛的生命，神的心意不是只要我們得救就好了，而是更豐盛的生命。

How?
Turn to Jesus Christ is the only way to be saved from the sins and have eternal life.
