What does it mean to be married to Christ in the context of Romans 7?

Answered in 1 source

Being married to Christ means that believers have a new relationship that allows them to bear fruit for God, freed from the law.

In Romans 7:4, Paul illustrates that believers have died to the law through Christ, which enables them to be 'married' to Him. This union with Christ not only signifies our new identity but also our transformation from being bound to the law to being empowered by grace. Just as a woman is released from the law that binds her to her husband upon his death, we are free from the law's demands through Christ's death. This new relationship enables believers to produce fruit unto God, highlighting a life lived in love and obedience to Christ rather than under the burdens of the law.
