How the Law Works

Romans 7:2-4 For the woman who has a husband is bound by the law to her husband as long as he lives. But if the husband dies, she is released from the law of her husband. 3 So then if, while her husband lives, she marries another man, she will be called an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from that law, so that she is no adulteress, though she has married another man. 4 Therefore, my brethren, you also have become dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you may be married to another; to Him who was raised from the dead, that we should bear fruit to God.

Verses 2-4 are an example of how the law works.

7:2 If a woman becomes a wife, she is no longer free as a single woman she is bound by the law to be a wife to that man and only that man.

7:3 As a wife if she married another man she a law-breaker deserving of death. But if her husband died she is no longer a wife and she is free to remarry. Something that would be a horrible sin became OK.

7:4 Just like a woman could remarry according to the law so also a JEW under the law could die to that law and come alive to another, JESUS.

That way they could bear fruit for GOD, because according to the law they are always missing the mark bearing no fruit.They would recognize their marriage or commitment to the law as ended, dead to the law and remarried to JESUS
