I.Abundance of Grace
   A.Introduction
      1. (Rom. 5:17) reigning in life is the result of receiving: (1) abundance of grace and (2) the gift of righteousness.
       a. Grace is God’s unearned, unmerited, undeserved and unlimited favor.
         ~G.R.A.C.E. God’s Riches At Christ’s Expense

  B. Where Sin Abounds Grace Super-Abounds
    1. (Rom. 5:20 AMPC) sin abounded (pleonazo) increased; grace abounded much more (hyperperisseuo) to abound exceedingly beyond measure plus some more. (2Cor 7:4)
     a. (Rom. 3:8; 6;1, 15 all AMPC) Paul preached this so adamantly that he was misunderstood.
(Rom. 6:14) grace gives us dominion over sin!
   2. Let’s take a look at Peter as an example of this truth:
    a. (Mark 14:27-31 all NLT) Peter says he would never deny Jesus and is willing to die for Him.
    b. (Mark 14:66-72 all NKJV) Peter denies Jesus
    c. Jesus appears to Peter before the other disciples:
       ~(Mark 16:7) tell His disciples – and Peter
       ~(Luke 24:34) has appeared to Simon, Peter
       ~(1 Cor. 15:3-5) seen by Cephas then by the twelve
       ~(John 21:15-17) Peter called to tend the sheep.
       ~(ref. Acts 2:40-41) 3,000 get saved on Pentecost
       ~(ref. Acts 3:1-7) Lame man healed
       ~(ref. Acts 5:15-16) Peter’s shadow
  3. Only five women mentioned in Matthew 1 genealogy of Jesus Christ.
    a. (Matt. 1:3) Tamar Gen 38
    b. (Matt. 1:5) prostitute Rahab Jos 2, Heb 11, Jas 2
    c. (Matt. 1:5) Moabite Ruth Gen19, Num22
