Episode notes
Slavery Metaphor and Justification
- Paul uses the metaphor of slavery to explain theological realities, particularly justification.
- He draws parallels between serving sin and serving righteousness, emphasizing the differing outcomes of death and eternal life.
Wages, Trust, and Justification
- The concept of "wages" for sin or righteousness is misguided, as justification comes from trust, not works.
- True reward is a gift from God, not a paycheck earned through the law.
Dead to the Law
- Paul explains that being "dead to the law" means no longer seeking justification through it, not abandoning observance entirely.
- This aligns with his arguments in Galatians and earlier in Romans about the law's role.
