Romans 5:16-18 - And the free gift is not like the result of that one man's sin. For the judgment following one trespass brought condemnation, but the free gift following many trespasses brought justification. For if, because of one man's trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ. Therefore, as one trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men.
John 10:10 - The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.
2 Timothy 2:11-13 - The saying is trustworthy, for: If we have died with him, we will also live with him; if we endure, we will also reign with him; if we deny him, he also will deny us; if we are faithless, he remains faithful—for he cannot deny himself.
Isaiah 53:11 - Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see and be satisfied; by his knowledge shall the righteous one, my servant, make many to be accounted righteous, and he shall bear their iniquities.
Application:
· The thief’s interest is in himself. Christ’s interest is in His sheep, whom He enables to have life to the full.
· Faithfully bearing up under suffering and trial will result in reward when Christ returns.
· Life for all men does not mean that everyone eventually will be saved, but that salvation is available to all.
· God has had more than enough of innumerable sacrifices that accomplished nothing.
