Romans 7:2-6 - Dead to the Law, Married to Messiah

In this study from the Book of Romans (אֶל־הָרוֹמִים), Brother Gideon Levytam explores the challenging but vital seventh chapter, focusing on the believer's relationship to the Law (Torah). Using the apostle Paul's illustration of the marriage bond, Gideon explains how a believer is released from the dominion and curse of the Law. Just as a wife is freed from the law of her husband upon his death, those who have died with Messiah are freed from the Law's power to condemn.

This freedom, however, does not mean the Law is abolished, for it remains holy, just, and good. Rather, the believer is now joined to a new husband—the resurrected Yeshua the Messiah. The purpose of this new, living union is to bear fruit for God, empowered not by the "oldness of the letter" written on stone, but by the "newness of the Spirit" written on our hearts.
