Christ inaugurates the day when all creation is set free from futility. Christ's resurrection means that a redeeming force and people are now at work in history. Christ's people are set free — unleashed — to be effective in all aspects of life. Many will argue that human nature is changeable. Paul says it is not, except when it is Christ Jesus who effects the change.
