Rom 5:17
17 For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)
This is another scripture that proclaims the effects of Christ death unto those He died for, they shall reign in life by one.
Thats because the ones He died for will receive abundance of Grace and the Free Gift of righteousness.
Paul writes on down in vs 19, that all those Christ died for shall be made righteous, hence the free gift of righteousness.
The word receive here does not mean a offer was made and received or could have been rejected, but it means effectually given or applied to the ones receiving; Just like through Adam, men received death, we received condemnation, they were not offered to us but made to apply to us.
Those Jesus died for reign in this life because Jesus by His blood hath made us a Kingdom. Rev 1:5-6
5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
Notice vs 6 He hath made us King and Priest, being washed in His blood.
Thats why Paul says they shall reign in life, the atoning blood of Christ produces/accomplishes that effect.
Jesus blood made those He died for a Kingdom, we are kings and priests solely because of His Blood.
