THE LAW!!!

Romans 7:1-6

Focal verse [2]

“For the woman which hath a 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.”

First and foremost I would like to say, Please Do Not Seek To Kill Your Spouses!!! (Laughter) This article is to show you the awesomeness of our Father.

Let’s first get the preliminaries out of the way.

The phrase…“Until death do us part . . .” “is a reality statement of marriage. In the midst of the teary happiness of the wedding vows, reality enters in. This covenant will be broken by death.” The Complete Book of Everyday Christianity

Jesus Christ died on the Cross for our sins for two reasons – to redeem us, and to fulfill the law (covenant). Allow me to enlighten you. When God cuts covenant it is until death do you part. So, the covenant God cut with Abraham could not stop. It was an everlasting covenant. The only way to break it is if God dies since God was the one who cut covenant with him or in better terms, made a promise to Abraham. The thing is, God cannot die.

Let’s understand more. Jesus was Word in the flesh. The Old Covenant or (Law) was in Christ. In Matthew 5:17 Jesus states that he did not come to destroy the Law, but to fulfill. Jesus Christ was the Old Covenant personified [made flesh]. When Jesus died on Calvary’s Cross He was the ultimate sacrifice and atonement for our sins. Why did Christ die? So God can release Himself from that Old Covenant. Jesus said this blood represents the new covenant. But why would God want to do this. Simple, in order to free us from the Law; During the Old Covenant we were bound by the Law; in order for us to be loosed from that law and to have a relationship with God, Jesus Christ had to die.

That is so awesome. God is truly Sovereign and Holy. He is in control of everything.

You know, before we accepted Christ the Law revealed sin to us; now that we are Christians the Holy Spirit reveals sin to us.

Be Blessed
