A PROEMINÊNCIA DA JUSTIFICAÇÃO PELA FÉ NA TEOLOGIA DE PAULO AOS ROMANOS 5,12-21.

Abstract

The Romans 5.12 to 21 text is revisited from the general context of the Charter. Are peripheral issues and intentions that hide behind the texts that help to outline the central theme of the Charter, which is grace, as God s gift, which results in justification by faith. The Letter to the Romans shows Paul as a person plural and with strong collective sense. The Romans 5.15 to 21 text display goes against the idea of a wrathful Paulo, resentful, sad and melancholy. In this passage we see the flow of an overflowing joy, which he wants to pass on to the communities that are still tied to the concept of salvation gained from the works of the law. The sin, which results in death , is only remembrance for those who reach the kingdom entrance life. This is why Paul should not be read as the author of the theology of death, but of life. The struggle to attain the fullness of grace and justification by faith is a struggle for freedom, quite appropriate topic to deal with the Roman imperial oppression. This joy transcends the individual and expands the community and social sphere. Receiving the grace of God for man allows this serve and love the Lord by choice and not by institutional constraints. The deeper symptom of freedom manifests that serving with joy. Paul does not prioritize individuals in their theology, but a free society. A company achieved the freedom of grace and righteousness of God s justice, certainly, is a society ready to live the reality of social justice.
