11.23.2009 - Romans 7:1-6

1Do you not know, brothers—for I am speaking to men who know the law—that the law has authority over a man only as long as he lives? 2For example, by law a married woman is bound to her husband as long as he is alive, but if her husband dies, she is released from the law of marriage. 3So then, if she marries another man while her husband is still alive, she is called an adulteress. But if her husband dies, she is released from that law and is not an adulteress, even though she marries another man.
4So, my brothers, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, that you might belong to another, to him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit to God. 5For when we were controlled by the sinful nature,[a] the sinful passions aroused by the law were at work in our bodies, so that we bore fruit for death. 6But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code.

I'm definitely kind of confused about these verses but i understand it a little bit. Marriage is a promise we make similar to the type of relationship we should have with God. there is love and it's not suppose to end until one of the person dies, and some people really does live even after they die.

In relationship with God, Jesus has died and defeated the purpose of death, so in a point we gotta serve God once we made that commitment we need to love God. Jesus dieing and raising from death means so much to us. the law that once relates to us as a cheating person who would be called adulter, Jesus sets us free from the law that would make us such adulter. he makes us complete and we are such a incomplete not worth anything cheaters, but God makes us complete. we are controlled by sinful nature, but because of the love of God we are worth worshiping him once again.

Love God... because without himi we are nothing....
