Romans 7:1-6 reveals how believers have died to the law through Christ's death, freeing us from its condemnation. Paul uses a marriage analogy to illustrate our new relationship with Jesus - we now 'belong to another,' specifically to Christ who was raised from the dead. This new relationship grants us privileges: bearing Christ's name, joining God's family, gaining access to the Father, experiencing His love, and receiving the guarantee of eternal life. Rather than following rules, we now 'serve in the new way of the Spirit,' living by the Holy Spirit's power instead of the written code.
