Paul describes Jesus Christ as the one “who gave himself for our sins to deliver us from the present evil age”. This deliverance is freely offered to us, the gospel message revealed to Paul directly from Jesus Christ.
There is a logical response to this offer of deliverance. Paul encourages us to “live to God”, as he did. “The life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.” Let us similarly live a life seeking approval from God, allowing Christ to live in us.
