When the 101 Bible Study met on November 20 we studied the first half of Romans 5. I ran across this from John Murray:
“The death of Christ does not constrain or elicit the love of God but the love of God constrained the death of Christ as the only adequate provision of this love.” (John Murray).
It sets the background for that wonderful comparison/contrast that we find in the last half of Romans 5, as Paul talks about the first man, Adam, and the second man, the Lord Jesus Christ.
