Read to the end...

 Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned—for sin indeed was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not counted where there is no law. Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sinning was not like the transgression of Adam, who was a type of the one who was to come.  (Romans 5:12-14 ESV)
The first two verses of this paragraph can get quite depressing - sin and death affect us all, from Adam on.  But keep on reading.  Adam was the type, a picture, of One to come.  The hope has been alive since death entered the world.  Salvation has been on the horizon since sin grabbed our hearts.  He who was to come has come.  His story is not only history, but hope.
