Chapter 6 discusses repentance and faith as the necessary responses to Jesus's redemption mission. When a person belongs to Jesus, they are declared righteous in God's sight, adopted into God's family, granted new creation life, and consecrated into God's service. The chapter also explains the holistic vision for the Christian life, which is sustained by God's corporate and personal means of grace, such as baptism, communion, the Word of God, and prayer. The Christian life affects every sphere and aspect of life. The Christian hope for restoration thus upholds a vision of glory, righteousness, and joy, a vision that demonstrates God's wisdom.
