Paul just keeps hammering away and knocking them out of the park - this time its not simply expressing in the language of life and death with regards to the salvation that is freely offered in Christ to sinners, and given by the Spirit which results in freedom from enslavement to sin, but also the glorious language of adoption and sonship that belongs to those in whom the Spirit dwells. We have been given the consolation that in Christ we are new creations, we need not fear that the indwelling sin against which we war is indicative that we remain imprisoned to sin. No, in Christ we are set free, in Christ we have been given new life, in Christ we have been granted the Spirit of adoption. This does not mean we treat sin lightly, rather we strive to walk in holiness, but when we do sin we have a strong advocate who answers for us, and we have a secure place at the Table of the One who is our Father. Once we have been brought into the house of God, we are never cast out.
