Paul furthers his explanation as to why we do not have to follow the law today by telling us we are dead. We failed to keep the law, but when we were baptized into the body of Christ, we were in Christ in the crucifixion, in fulfilling the law, in living our lives right now. It is not me who is truly alive, but the life I have is only because Christ is living in me! Christ died so that all who place their faith in Him could live...in Him. What a miracle that a sinner like me could live eternally as a part of the Body of Christ!
So...Jews and Gentiles are saved in the exact same manner; Faith in Christ.
Anyone who tries to earn salvation by keeping the Law (or any other standard) will fall short every time. Death is certain and deserved. But, life is found by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone!
He deserves all honor and glory and praise!
