Romans 5:17
For if by the one man's offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the one, Jesus Christ.
Page 2 of "Destined to Reign" by Joseph Prince
The word "reign" used in Romans 5:17 is the Greek word basileuo where you get the English word "basilica." In ancient Rome, basilicas were used as law courts. So it refers to a kingly, judicial rule. In other words, to reign here is to reign in life as a king, to have kingly rule and to possess kingly dominion.
About Me
- Singing Ragamuffin
- I love Jesus. I am married to a wonderful Christian man who helped me to realize how much I needed a Savior in my life. I work full-time. Because I love to laugh, I watch a lot of sitcoms and comedy movies. But I also really enjoy books and movies that have a deep and powerful meaning to them--the kind that make you cry but you take something away from them: a valuable lesson learned.
