Lesson 3726

 (Lesson 3726)(04-01-22) Romans 7:1-4

    “Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth? 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. 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. 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.”

    In today’s quote, Paul made it clear that although the Jews were bound by the old law until death, they were loosed from the law by the death of Jesus. Jesus, through His victory over death, having fulfulled the law for all who will believe in Him.

    This clearly means that the old laws of the Jews no longer apply to those who accept Jesus as their intercessor and redeemer. Where there is no law, there can be no sin.~
