God is bringing us a new quality of life through Jesus.

In this passage, Paul is calling us to live into the new life found in Christ Jesus. When we come to the end of our dead lives, we come to the start of true life. We must die to the ways of death and sin. By being baptized into his death on the cross, we can live into the newness of life. God calls us to walk in the way of Jesus, so we can experience a new way to live.Thus, in Jesus, we become fully alive to God, and dead to sin, and are fit to be used as instruments for the purposes and desires of the Master.
