Sin: How does Paul interpret and apply the fall in Romans 5:12-21?

Adam’s sin brought on the rein of sin and death into the world. Jesus Christ brought the rein of righteousness and life. Death is the wages of sin (Rom.5:12). God’s grace rules over the presence of sin and death in the world. By faith, believers stand forgiven and joyful in God’s grace because of Christ (Rom. 5:2).
