Romans 7:1
do you not know, brethren (for I speak to those who know the law), that the law has dominion over a man as long as he lives?
Romans 7:6
now we have been delivered from the law, having died to what we were held by, so that we should serve in the newness of the Spirit and not the oldness of the letter.
Galatians 3:10
For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written,
"Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them."
a amen when a sinner is executed for thier sin the law is now fulfilled upon the sinner it has nothing to say to the dead sinner but that the sinner is accursed of God and condemned to death when a person dies the law ends
“Know ye not,
brethren, how that
the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth?
…. 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.”
Romans 7:1, 4 KJV
Paul began explaining these things here
Telling us how we have died through baptism into Christ
“Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. For he that is dead is freed from sin.”
Romans 6:3-7 KJV
then he continues explaining how this affects the law and the believer who died in Christ first he established this idea “
you have died through baptism with Christ by faith who died for your sins “
then he continues explaining how this affects us believers within the body of Christ who died for our sins and we died in him to them …
…..Wherefore, my
brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; “
It was actually against us he delivered us from the law because it held all sinners to death
“For
when we were in the flesh, ( before we got baptized and received the spirit )
the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.
But now we are delivered from the law, that
being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in
newness of spirit, and
not in the oldness of the letter.”
Romans 7:5-6 KJV
This means the law which says “if you commit this sin you must die “ is fulfilled for the believer in Christ
who dies with him through baptism because they believe in another epistle here he’s discussing the same thing with different words
“And ye are
complete in him, which is
the head of all principality and power: in whom also
ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands,
in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are
risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
And
you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;”
Colossians 2:10-14 KJV
“the handwriting of ordinance that was there for accusation
against all sinners
“Take
this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God,
that it may be there for a witness against thee.”
Deuteronomy 31:26 KJV
jesus removed the accuser and witness against us and gave us the gospel in its place becoming our advocate we’ve been delivered from the law because it condemned every sinner to death no one could have been saved because once you break the law it’s done
This isn’t our law and can’t save
“Now we know that
what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that
every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for
by the law is the knowledge of sin.”
Romans 3:19-20 KJV
The gospel we’re told to hear and believe is our law of faith ……
“
But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being
witnessed by the law and the prophets; even
the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;”
Romans 3:21-
