Episode notes
Four Lenses On Romans
- Romans can be read through multiple theological lenses that highlight different chapters as the 'heart' of the book.
- All four emphases (1–4, 5–8, 9–11, 12–16) overlap and together reveal Paul's full message.
Justification By Faith Emphasis
- The Reformation lens centers Romans 1–4 and stresses justification by faith alone.
- This reading emphasizes we are made right before God through faith, not works.
Believer's Triumph Focus
- The 'believer's triumph' lens centers Romans 5–8 and emphasizes present victory and life in Christ.
- It highlights how Christ's faithfulness enables ongoing freedom, hope, and perseverance.
