Here we enter into a new part of Pauls letter, but one that is deeply and vitally anchored to all that he has contended to this point. Here he shifts our focus from theology to application and what he makes clear right from the start is that our lives what God has done through Christ has massive implications for how we are to live now as his disciples. Life in Christ will set us on a collision course with the world around us who remain in Adam and in rebellion against God.
