Romans 7:2-7:4

Married to Christ - Part 2

On today's program we continue our in depth look at Romans chapter seven. We are taking great care to examine this chapter closely because it contains so many vital truths about our relationship with God and our relationship to the law - and how the two coexist. If we are saved by faith in Jesus Christ, through grace, then why do we have to worry about breaking God's laws - or even man's for that matter? That's the crux of the discussion here in Romans seven.

  1. For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.
  2. So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.
  3. Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.
