As Paul shares with us about the relationship of the Christian to the Law and to Christ, we are going to see a principle stated, a principle illustrated, and a principle applied:
- The principle stated (v. 1) – death brings a change of relationship to the law
- The principle illustrated (vv. 2-3) – marriage obligation under the law ends with the death of a spouse
- The principle applied to the Christian (vv. 4-6) – the Christian has been set free from the realm of the Law and has been joined to Christ
