1:21
And the very first verse says , ` Therefore being justified by faith , we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ . ' It is true that ` all have sinned , ' as verse 12 says , but Jesus came to save us from our sins . Did you never read Matt . 1:21 , ` And thou shalt call his name Jesus : for he shall save his people from their sins ' ? Through Adam 's sin we all became sinners , Paul says , but through Christ ` shall many be made righteous . ' Through Adam we died in sin , through Christ we died to sin and live unto righteousness . This chapter teaches very plainly that Jesus came to bring grace sufficient to save us from our sins . ''
