      Analyzing Labor Education in the Epistle to the Romans - Bible Sermons

      Introduction to Romans

      Paul's letter to the Romans is known primarily for its vision of God's gracious actions for humanity through the cross and resurrection of Christ. It is the power of God unto salvation to everyone who believes ( Rom 1:16 ). There is something very wrong with us individually and in the world as a whole, from which we need salvation, and Romans tells us about the way God saves us from it.

      Romans is deeply theological, but it is not abstract. God's salvation is not a concept for analytical discourse in Romans, but a call to action (Rom 6:22). Paul speaks of how God's salvation affects our wisdom, honesty, relationships, judgment, our ability to withstand setbacks, our character and ethical reasoning, all of which are essential to our work. Here, in the essence of human relationships and the desire to do a good job, is where God's salvation takes root in our world.

      Written during the reign of the Roman emperor Nero (54-68 B.C.), the letter to the Romans hints at the darkness and danger that surrounded the house churches in Rome, including both Jewish and Gentile converts to Christ. Some of the Jewish members of the congregations had been exiled by an edict of the emperor Claudius in 49 and had recently returned, perhaps having lost their property and financial stability in the process (Acts 18:2). Surely anti-Jewish sentiment in the widespread Roman culture put pressure on the Christian churches. Paul's broad reflection on God's faithfulness to both Jews and Gentiles in this letter was not a summary reflecting on God's ways, but a skillful theological reflection on these historical events and their consequences. The result is a set of practical tools for making moral decisions that lead to a new quality of life where people live and work.

      The letter to the Romans has been exceptionally important in the development of Christian theology. To give just two examples, Martin Luther broke from the ideals of Pope Leo X in large part because of his disagreement with what he perceived to be the Roman Catholic Church's perspective on the book of Romans. And it is possible that Karl Barth's Epistle to the Romans was the most influential theological work of the twentieth century. In the last twenty-five to thirty years a great theological debate has emerged regarding the relationship between salvation and good works in Romans and the rest of Paul's letters, known as the New Perspective on Paul. The general commentaries on Romans explore these issues in detail. Here we will focus specifically on what the letter contributes to the theology of work. Of course, we must have a basic understanding of Paul's general ideas before applying them to the work, so we will study the general theology to some extent as necessary.

      The gospel of salvation - Paul's vocation (Romans 1:1-17)

      The first verse of Romans announces Paul's proper vocation, the work that God has called him to do: to proclaim the gospel of God in word and deed. What, then, is the gospel of God? Paul says it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed by faith and for faith; as it is written, 'But the just shall live by faith' ( Rom 1:16-17 ). For Paul, the gospel is more than words-it is the power of God for salvation. He emphasizes that this salvation is not just for a group of people, but is designed to help anyone on earth become part of God's people by faith. So Romans is above all about God's salvation.

      What is salvation? Salvation is the work of God that brings human beings into right relationship with God and with each other. As we will see in a moment, we are saved from broken relationships-with God and with people-which bring about the evil forces of sin and death in the world. Salvation, therefore, is first of all the healing of broken relationships, beginning with the healing that reconciles the Creator with the created, God and us. Our reconciliation with God leads to freedom from sin and to a new life that is not limited by death.

      Sometimes, Christians reduce Paul's gospel of salvation to something like, believe in Jesus so that you can go to heaven when you die. This is true, within its limitations, but it is grossly insufficient. To begin with, a statement like that says nothing about relationships except the one between the individual and God, but Paul never fails to talk about relationships between people and between people and the rest of God's creation. Paul has much more to say about faith, about life in Jesus, about the kingdom of God, and about the quality of life before and after death, which could never be encapsulated in a single slogan.

      Likewise, salvation cannot be reduced to a single moment in time. Paul says that we have been saved (Rom 8:24) and that we shall be saved (e.g., Rom 5:9). Salvation is an ongoing process, not a one moment event. God interacts with each person in a dance of divine grace and human faithfulness over time. Of course, there are turning points in the process of being saved.
