This chaper does a great job of laying out the paradox of "freedom in Christ". This idea that letting our "selves" die so that Christ might live in us actually brings us freedom indeed presents an odd and difficult-to-understand paradox. Yet those who walk this path begin to grasp just how true it is. We're human, though, and problems arise when our "selves" start to take over again but then we learn once again what slavery is and, hopefully, we are drawn back to freedom through God's grace and compassion.

Hi Todd.
... " This idea that letting our "selves" die so that Christ might live in us..."
I feel that living for God might more represent the life of a Christian. For we are already dead in Christ.
When He died, we died. For God Himself placed us in Him(1 Cor.1:30).
All that remains, God in His Grace having done everything for us that we could not do, is to live accordingly.
God Bless.
