Life and death! They seem like complete opposites-at great enmity with each other. But for Paul-and for all who share his faith-there is a unity, because the same great passion is fulfilled in both-namely, that Christ be magnified in this body-our bodies-whether by life or by death.

You can't make yourself saved. This is very threatening to people, even Christians, because of what it seems to say about freedom.
