The Journey: Part 10 - We are Married to Another
In Romans 7, Paul provides us with a very easy to understand, practical analogy, of something that occurs in the spiritual realm when a believer comes to salvation and beyond. The analogy is paralleled to a woman being bound to her husband in marriage, but if that husband dies, she is legally entitled to remarry, without being found guilty of committing adultery. In other words, the law allows her the freedom to be joined to another man due to the death of her husband. This however is not the case if her husband is not dead. If she marries in such circumstance, then she violates law and becomes an adulteress.
