    The judgment resulted from one trespass in condemnation, but the gift resulted from many trespasses
    in a declaration of righteousness. -[FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] Rom. 5:16.[/FONT]


    Think what a gift it is for the Almighty to forgive the sin a person inherited as well as the wrongs he committed! The apostles and
    others receiving this loving gift(being declared righteous) would have to continue to worship the true God in faith. With what future reward? “Those who receive the abundance of the undeserved kindness and of the free gift of righteousness [will] rule as kings in life through the one person, Jesus Christ.â€￾

    The gift has life as its
    outcome.
    (Rom. 5:17; Luke 22:28-30) Those receiving that gift, being declared righteous, become

    God’s spiritual sons. As joint heirs with Christ, they have the prospect of being resurrected to heaven as actual spirit sons to
    “rule as kingsâ€￾ with Jesus Christ.

    —Rom. 8:15-17, 23.

  2. Hi All:

    Here is another instance of the WTBTS taking a scripture "out of context" to use in it's own regard, however they may wish. This scripture is not limited to the "bride of Christ" or those who will rule as Kings, with a capital K. All those who call on this free gift will receive it by means of their faith in Christ. Read the context! Because of the "sin" of the one man, "death ruled as king" through that one man. So, likewise "life would rule as king" because of the gift that God gave to mankind through Christ Jesus. This gift does not just apply to those who will rule as "Kings" with Christ, but to all who accept the gift by their faith in Christ. All with be kings of life, just as all were kings of death through Adam. It is life that is ruling as king to all those who avail themselves of this free gift and is not limited to those who will rule as "Kings" just because Paul chose to use the word king in this regard.

    Go ahead, twist away!
