Romans | Romans 5.12-21 - Sjah Ndaba

In this sermon, Sjah Ndaba eloquently unravels the tapestry of human nature and redemption. With a heartwarming anecdote of her child's unexpected shoe discovery, she likens our relationship with God: "I thought I was just getting shoes," to the realization that through Christ, we receive more than just justification – we gain peace, hope, and life. Reflecting on Romans 5:12, she highlights humanity's shared origin in Adam and our inherent propensity to sin. Yet, like small pastries carved from a large dough, we carry the same essence. The profound truth, however, is encapsulated in Romans 5:18-19; though one man's disobedience condemned many, one man's obedience – Christ's – grants righteousness and eternal life to many. This is not just a leveling of the scales; grace overflows, as seen in Romans 5:15-21. The sermon vividly portrays the dominion humanity forfeited to death, but with Jesus, we are reinstated to reign, not as passive rulers but active partners in God's restoration work. Every individual, beyond clergy, is called to this divine partnership. Sjah concludes by urging: Understand your identity in Adam to truly appreciate your new identity in Christ. Embrace your purpose, and partner with God in mending the world's brokenness.
