Dead to the Law
What is Paul referring back to with this question?
The Greek word here is agnoeo, which is where we get our word “agnostic.”
The parenthetical: for I am speaking to those who know the law!
The relationship between the law and sin figures prominently in this chapter.
The law has jurisdiction over a person as long as they are alive.
g
The word nomos here refers to the law of Moses.
Paul appeals to a principle that was well known by those familiar with the OT and was articulated in Jewish literature: “that the law rules over a person as long as one lives”
This assumes no divorce.
The dominion of the law has been severed, and now believers are married to Christ.
The promises given to Israel were not realized during the era of the Mosaic law.
Instead, these promises have become a reality in the new era in which the Holy Spirit is dispensed to all.
How did we did to the Law?
Through the body of Christ?
Why did we did to the law?
So that we might be joined to a new husband just like the widow whose husband has passed on.
For what end have we been joined to Christ?
In order that we might bear fruit for God.
What is the chief end of man?
Man’ s chief end is to glorify God, (1 Cor.
10:31, Rom.
11:36) and to enjoy him for ever.
(Ps.
73:25–28)
