The introduction to chapter 5 is a summary of chapter 4. Paul declared that Christ was the great emancipator who set believers free from bondage to the slave market. Note that Christ did not just set us free…He set us free for freedom! Therefore, the stated purpose of Christ’s redemptive work was to free us from the futile slavery of religious self-improvement.
