I’d agree that this is the Pauline argument. I think there is also a strong affinity here with the Johanine idea of abundant life. That is, life here and now, rather then in some future reformatted life. It’s here that the Johanine idea of indwelling Christ and the Pauline conception of ‘being in’ Christ arwe existential, here and now, and challenge us to look at what discipleship means for the present.

Life is to be fully lived and life is filled to fullness and to overflowing, if it is lived in the NOW of Jesus.

Live to serve : Serve to live
