Passage

Romans 5

• Doctrine

  Faith

  Personal trust in Christ specifically; not the devotional reverence (bhakti/shraddha) a Warkari devotee directs toward Vitthal, nor confidence placed in a teaching or path as in Buddhist practice.

  ROM.5.1-2

• Glossary Term

  Faith

  Personal trust in a specific object (Christ); श्रद्धा and भक्ति both carry devotional-reverence connotations from Warkari and broader bhakti practice that do not require a specific, exclusive object of trust.

  ROM.5.1-2

• Doctrine

  Grace

  Warkari bhakti already has a devotional grace vocabulary (Vitthal's कृपा on the devotee), which makes this term feel too familiar; every occurrence must reinforce that grace is unearned and Christ-specific.

  ROM.5.2, ROM.5.15-17, ROM.5.20-21

• Glossary Term

  Grace

  CRITICAL: कृपा already names devotional favor in Warkari bhakti (Vitthal's कृपा on a devotee), so it reads as familiar — every occurrence must make explicit that this favor is unearned and given through Christ alone, not cultivated through bhakti devotion.

  ROM.5.2, ROM.5.15-17, ROM.5.20-21

• Doctrine

  Humanity of Christ

  Real, historical human nature; not an illusory appearance and not merely one impermanent configuration of aggregates in a Buddhist sense.

  ROM.5.15

• Glossary Term

  Peace

  Relational peace with God through justification, not the inner calm (मनःशांती) sought through bhakti meditation or Buddhist mindfulness practice.

  ROM.5.1

• Doctrine

  Peace with God

  Relational peace through justification, not the inner tranquility sought through bhakti devotion or Buddhist mindfulness/meditation practice.
