It should be obvious, but it isn’t because your heart is hard. It should be perfectly clear, but it isn’t because you are an infant in the faith. Do you not realize that you are dead in Christ’s death, and alive in Christ’s life? Therefore you must die to sin and live in Christ. He is our pattern, our example. You need look nowhere else. He is the gift of God, you need seek no other wage. But having received the gift—brought from death to life, from servitude to sin (which leads to death) to servitude to God (which leads to life), live that way. Your body, your mind, your soul itself in Christ has a new master. You are not set free to do your own thing, you have been set free for a different service. Serve, therefore, in accordance with the desires of your master, Christ. For his yoke is easy, his burden is light, and his reward is eternal life. Serve yourself and die. Forever. Serve Christ and live. The choice is yours.
