Living our new life in Christ

We come to the summary of the first 10 verses. The theme of the text is the work of Christ on our behalf by grace through faith. This being applied and true of every believer brings forth a willing response to do good works to the glory of the name of Christ. We have come to the conclusion of the journey, beginning as people dead in sin and enslaved to the course of this world, to be being saved by grace due to the mercy and riches of God in Christ, and, now, we are encouraged to live out the Christian life in good works.
