Episode notes
Peace Encapsulates The Christian Contrast
- Paul chooses "peace" to encapsulate the full positive contrast with the carnal mind and to imply what verses 7–8 omit.
- Peace here signals the conditions that enable the righteousness of the law to be fulfilled in Christians.
Justification Yields Peace With God
- Justification by faith first produces peace with God, which is central to Paul's message.
- Peace and righteousness are linked repeatedly in Romans as the immediate fruit of being justified.
Enmity Blocks Righteousness
- The non-Christian is described as spiritually dead, at enmity with God, and incapable of submission to God's law.
- This enmity makes it impossible for the righteousness of the law to be fulfilled in the unregenerate.
