Haiku responding to Rom 5:12-19
Because all have sinned.
Not just Adam, all of us
are destined for death.
Sin was before law,
but is not counted as sin
before there was law.
Death was always here.
Even righteous people died;
from Adam onward.
God's free gift is life.
Grace came to us through Jesus,
one man, for many.
God's grace through Jesus
brings forgiveness, righteousness;
death no longer reigns.
From one man's tresspass
death reigned; through one's righteousness,
life for everyone!
One man disobeyed:
we share in his sin; one man
obeyed, we're made right!
(Original sin?
There is no need for Adam;
we do it ourselves.)
