Representation Matters
Rev. Joel St. Clair
Romans 5:12-21
Paul challenges the church to recognize that we are not neutral agents. Because of our ancestor Adam, all of humanity wrestles with sin. Yet in Jesus, we can find true righteousness before God.
This series focuses on our union with Jesus Christ. That is the framework for our salvation from a
number of Pauline letters (see usage of “in Christ”). Scripture paints a picture of human life as something
created by God for a purpose, called by Him to live & follow, and in Jesus Christ to become more and
more like him. Together, we’ll examine how our union with Jesus challenges our understanding of life today in the 21st century.
