Takeaway: The reign of sin is not only easy to verify in our behavior, but it also characterizes the world we live in. The signs and symbols of sin and death surround us: life is hard, cruel, and hopeless. Where sin abounds, however, grace abounds all the more. Through Christ, God has introduced an opposite force that is not equal but far greater than our sin. Paul encourages us to live under the reign of grace and indeed lead the way for grace to takeover. How do you give yourself over to a world of hopelessness? What would it look like to let grace reign in and through you?
