Peace to my dear family, brothers and sisters! Amen.
Let’s open our Bible to Romans chapter 7 verses 1-3 and read them together: Brothers, now I say to those who understand the law, don’t you know that the law governs a person while he is alive? Just like a woman who has a husband, she is bound by the law while the husband is alive; but if the husband dies, she is freed from the law of the husband. Therefore, if she is married to another man while her husband is still alive, she is called an adulteress;
Today we will study, fellowship, and share " The relationship between sin and the law is likened to the relationship between a woman and her husband 》Prayer: Dear Abba, Heavenly Father, our Lord Jesus Christ, thank you that the Holy Spirit is always with us! Amen. Thank you Lord! A virtuous woman【 church 】Send out workers - through the word of truth written and spoken in their hands, which is the gospel of your salvation. Food is transported from the sky from afar and supplied to us at the right time to make our spiritual life richer! Amen. May the Lord Jesus continue to illuminate our spiritual eyes and open our minds to understand the Bible so that we can hear and see spiritual truths. Knowing that "the law" governs people while we are alive, we die to the law through the body of Christ, allowing us to return to the resurrected Lord Jesus! If the "sinner" has not died to the "law" - breaks away from the law and turns to someone else, he is called an adulterer - a spiritual adulteress .
The above prayers, supplications, intercessions, thanks, and blessings! I ask this in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ! Amen
(1) The law governs people → while you are alive as a "sinner"
Let us study Romans 7:1-3 in the Bible and read them together: Brothers, now I say to you who understand the law, do you not know that the law governs a person while he is alive? Just like a woman who has a husband, she is bound by the law while the husband is alive; but if the husband dies, she is freed from the law of the husband. Therefore, if her husband is alive and she is married to someone else, she is called an adulteress; if her husband dies, she is freed from his law, and even if she is married to someone else, she is not an adulteress.
[Note]: By studying the above scripture records, the apostle "Paul" said: "Brothers, I now say to those who understand the law → that is, those who understand the "first covenant", that is, the law of the Old Testament, don't you know that the law "governs people" Even if the "sinner" is alive? Those who are under the law are "sinners" and are slaves of sin, because the power of "sin" is the law - refer to 1 Corinthians 15:56 → As long as the "sinner". As long as we live, we are bound by the law, because we are under the law. The jurisdiction of the law that is" crime ".So, do you understand?
(2) The relationship between sin and the law is likened to the relationship between a woman and her husband
Here the apostle "Paul" compares the "relationship between sin and the law" to the "relationship between a woman and her husband" →_ Just like "a woman" is compared to a "sinner" who has a "husband" is compared to the law. The husband is also compared to the law. As long as she is alive, a woman is bound by the law of "marriage"; if her husband dies, the woman is freed from her husband's law of "marriage". Therefore, if her husband is alive, she belongs to someone else (that is, the "woman" has not yet been freed from the law of "marriage"). ) if she becomes an adulteress, she is called an adulteress; if her husband dies, she is freed from her husband’s law. Even if she becomes an adulteress, she is not an adulteress.
So the relationship between "sinners and the law" is the same → Romans 7:4 My brothers, you also died to the "law" through the "body of Christ". Verse 6 We died to the "law", Gal. 2:19 "Paul" said → I died "to the law" because of the law! That you might be brought to others, even to Him who was raised from the dead → [Lord Jesus Christ], that we might bear "spiritual" fruit to God.
(3) If a woman is alive as a "sinner" and comes to Christ, she is an adulteress
If you "sinners" live "without dying to the law, without "escaping" from the bondage of the law, and if you turn to "Christ", you will call "whore" [spiritual whore] . So, do you understand clearly?
Many people are like "pigs" who have been cleansed and go back to rolling in the mud; they cry "Lord, Lord" with their lips and turn around and "in their hearts" return to the Old Testament law. previous appointment Husband" date. That means you have "Two" husbands → one Old Testament husband; one "New Testament" husband, you are an "adult → spiritual adulteress" ". Galatians 4:5 God sent his only begotten Son to redeem those who were under the "law" so that you might come to the Lord Jesus Christ; but many "returned" and wanted to be slaves under the law. Being sinners. These people are "committing adultery" and "spiritual adultery", and are called spiritual adulterers. So, do you understand?
Luke 6:46 The Lord Jesus said: "Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord' and do not obey my words? You say! Is that right?" Romans 7:6 But since we are binding our Being dead to the law is now "free" from the law, allowing us to serve the Lord. "Sinners who are not free from the law cannot serve the Lord." Do you understand?
According to the newness of spirit (spirit: or translated as the Holy Spirit), not according to the old way of ritual. → But if you are led by the Holy Spirit, you are not under the law. So, do you understand clearly? Refer to Galatians chapter 5 verse 18
alright! Today I would like to share my fellowship with you all. May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God the Father, and the inspiration of the Holy Spirit be always with you all! Amen
