In chapter 5, Paul began talking about the implications of justification. Another implication of justification is freedom from the power of sin. In the first half of chapter 6, Paul’s main idea is that we are freed from sin’s power through our union with Christ. Paul’s main idea in the second half is that we are freed from sin’s power because we have been transferred to a new realm with a new master. And Paul gives three practical directions to fight against sin in our lives.
