Law of God – Romans 7:1-3
Vs 1 - Paul knows that his
audience were men who knew the law of God.
They grew up with it. They knew
the priesthood, sacrifices and rituals that go with it. They also knew that the law had authority over
a person as long as they live.
Vs 2 – Paul uses the example
of marriage. In Paul’s day, a couple
were bound together in marriage until one of the two died.
Vs 3 - Then after that they
were free to marry another otherwise it was considered adultery. In Paul’s day a person who married another when
their original spouse was alive was considered an adulterer. Adultery is so devastating because it is more
than sexual it is an issue of trust.
Trust has been broken. Death is
the only bond that breaks a marriage vow.
