Dzieło Jezusa w ujęciu listów Pawłowych

Abstract

In the article author presents the Pauline view of the work of redemption and salvation wrought by Jesus Christ. Paul was a Pharisee, educated in Jerusalem in the school of the famous rabbi Gamaliel I. He was convinced that the only way to salvation is to be faithful to the Torah by observing all 613 commandments of the Jewish Law. After his meeting with Christ by the gate of Damascus, Paul acquired an absolutely new insight into the work of salvation. Paul presented his new conviction in the Christological hymns and prayers of his letters: one can be saved only by faith in Jesus Christ and not by observance of the Law.
