Romans 6

• Doctrine

  Christian Identity in Christ

  Identity located in union with Christ, not caste, qaum-identity, or family religious heritage — a high-stakes claim where Punjabi religious identity is usually inherited and communal.

  ROM.6.1-11

• Doctrine

  Grace

  Sikh ਕਿਰਪਾ/ਨਦਰ theology is genuinely gift-oriented, unlike Hindu karma-merit, but is received through the Guru's mediation and Naam-simran rather than through faith in Christ alone; every occurrence must keep the source of grace explicitly Christ-centered.

  ROM.6.1, ROM.6.14-15

• Glossary Term

  Grace

  Sikh theology already has a developed grace vocabulary (ਕਿਰਪਾ/ਨਦਰ, God's gracious glance) that is genuinely gift-like, unlike Hindu karma-merit accounting — but Sikh kirpa is received through the Guru's mediation and a life of Naam-simran (meditation on the divine Name), not through faith in Christ's atoning work alone.
