In these two chapters, Paul explained that a Christian is one who died to sin, was buried into Christ Jesus, and was raised in Christ with a new life. That is what baptism by emersion shows the world. Since Jesus is alive, so too are we. "The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord" (6:23). Paul gave an example in chapter 7 of a married couple which is also a legal contract. If one has an affair, that person breaks the law, the contract, but if one dies, the one who is still alive is free from the contract. A Christian who died to sin, is free from that contract, and we are now married to Christ. Paul then switched examples and said that people are either a slave to sin or to God, and even when we do become Christians, we are in a struggle with our sinful nature. This is a process of purification, which is called sanctification, and I believe the process is not complete until we either meet Jesus in the air, or our bodies die and we meet Jesus in heaven. Paul struggled with this sinful nature which lived in him and he asked, "What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to God - through Jesus Christ our Lord!" It is only through Jesus.
