The Universal Analogies
5:12 to 7:13

Four universal applications are made:

The first universal analogy is a midrash (a commentary on the Hebrew scriptures) on Adam (to see link click Bl – Midrash on Adam), contrasting and comparing the consequences of Adam’s sin to the consequences of Messiah’s justification.

Then comes the Messianic Mikveh (see Bp – The Messianic Mikveh) in which Paul explores the meaning of dying with Messiah, and being raised to new life in Him.

The third universal application is the concept of human enslavement to sin (see Bt – Slaves to God), and then being slaves to God after salvation.

Lastly, in relating these ideas to the Torah, Paul introduces a new analogy, marriage (see Bx – Marriage), and its application to believers in Yeshua.
