Paul’s language in Romans 5:1–5 permeates spatiality and references to the Roman Empire. These images form part of a spatial reasoning in which he wants to convince an audience, who have already heard of the good news, that no force or power can separate them from the love of God if they unceasingly orientate themselves towards God. Paul redefines ideas such as love, favour and glory in order to communicate the significance of a believer’s relationship with God from a bodily perspective. This article explores Paul’s spatial reasoning with specific focus on the impact thereof for the church during Covid-19.
