Romans Study 48: Loosed From the Law

Before we got saved we were bound to the law much like a wife is bound to her husband. In our case, it was a horrible marriage and the only thing the law could do was point out all the ways that we didn't measure up. However, we couldn't get a divorce either---the only way out was to wait until one of us died (till death do we part).  When Jesus saved us, He put our flesh to death and this freed us from our marriage to the law, so we were free to marry Jesus after we got saved! And Jesus has been better to us than any husband has ever been to his wife!
