Episode notes
INSIGHT

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.
INSIGHT

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.
INSIGHT

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.
