Paul continues to make his case concerning the relationship between the follower of Christ and the law. How should we think of the law as it relates to sin and is it relates to freedom in Christ? In today’s reading Paul says that if a woman’s husband dies, then she is no longer bound to that man. Likewise, Paul says that we are to put our relationship with the law to death so that we may engage in a relationship with Jesus Christ. Now, the law is not sin; in fact, the law points out our sin, and in some ways amplifies the gravity of sin. So often the flesh wants to go on sinning, but the mind wants to obey the law, but praise God, Christ rescues us from this body of death.
