• Paul anticipates and answers an objection directed towards the gospel's view of grace and the Law. A general idea developed by Paul is the idea of enslavement to whatever is served. Paul outlines the reality of slavery to either sin or to righteousness. Through the gospel, the Roman Christians have been transformed and renewed. God's word has power over the lives of Christians and produces great change. The Roman Christians have been given over to the gospel and have obeyed. To be slaves to righteousness does not transfer the locus of responsibility of Christians to become slaves to good works or morality. Rather, Christians become slaves of their justification or righteousness. Slavery to sin led to increasing lawlessness. Lawlessness is not part of grace; it is produced by one who lives for sin. Our slavery to justification leads to holiness.
