Romans 7:1-6 | You Belong to Another | Jared Lyda

In Romans 7:1-6, Paul presses into a truth that changes how you relate to God, how you live, and how you obey: you don’t belong to rules and guidelines—you belong to Jesus Christ. Using the metaphor of marriage and the simple legal principle that death ends obligation, Paul shows how union with Christ releases believers from the Law’s condemning jurisdiction—not so we can drift, but so we can bear fruit for God and serve in the new way of the Spirit. This message confronts both legalism and license, and calls you into the freedom you were made for: belonging wholeheartedly to the Real Jesus.5 things you’ll learn from this message:· Why Paul says the Law is good and useful—but not your Master, Judge, or Justifier· How the marriage illustration explains jurisdiction and why “death ends obligation” is the key to Romans 7:1-6· What it means to “belong to Another,” and why that belonging produces fruit for God· How legalism and license are two opposite ways of missing the gospel—and how Romans 7 diagnoses both· What “serving in the new way of the Spirit” looks like in real life when you’re accused, tempted, or even trying to obeySupport our mission and learn more atwww.alloflife.churchGive to the work of the gospel herewww.alloflife.churchcenter.com/giving
