Rom 7:1 Or do you not know, [a]brothers and sisters (for I am speaking to those who know the Law), that the Law has jurisdiction [to rule] over a person as long as he lives

2 For the married woman [as an example] is bound and remains bound by law to her husband while he lives; but if her husband dies, she is released and exempt from the law concerning her husband.

3 Accordingly, she will be designated as an adulteress if she unites herself to another man while her husband is alive. But if her husband dies, she is free from the law [regarding marriage], so that she is not an adulteress if she marries another man.

4 Therefore, my [c]fellow believers, you too died to the Law through the [crucified] body of Christ, so that you may belong to another, to Him who was raised from the dead, in order that we may bear fruit for God.

5 When we were living in the flesh [trapped by sin], the sinful passions, which were awakened by [that which] the Law [identifies as sin], were at work in our body to bear fruit for death [since the willingness to sin led to death and separation from God].

6 But now we have been released from the Law and its penalty, having died [through Christ] to that by which we were held captive, so that we serve [God] in the newness of the Spirit and not in the oldness of the letter [of the Law].
(MY NOTE Scripture proclaims, believers are released from the Law & its levied sin penalty)

God’s Final Word in His Son

Heb 1:3 The Son is the radiance and only expression of the glory of [our awesome] God [reflecting God’s [a]Shekinah glory, the Light-being, the brilliant light of the divine], and the exact representation and perfect imprint of His [Father’s] essence, and upholding and maintaining and propelling all things [the entire physical and spiritual universe] by His powerful word [carrying the universe along to its predetermined goal]. When He [Himself and no other] had [by offering Himself on the cross as a sacrifice for sin] accomplished purification from sins and established our freedom from guilt, He sat down [revealing His completed work] at the right hand of the Majesty on high [revealing His Divine authority],
(MY NOTE Scripture proclaims, belief in Christ's sin atoning sacrifice removes ALL the believers sins & secures freedom from ALL guilt. Christ's sinless perpetually cleansing God blood has purified/purged/atoned for ALL the believers sins)

Life Through the Spirit

Rom 8
1 There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,
(MY NOTE Once Christs salvation sealing Holy Spirit is In you, you are IN Christ (Jn 1420)

2 because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you[a] free from the law of sin and death.
(MY NOTE Scripture proclaims, no sin condemnation/judgment will be levied on any believer. Jesus TOOK AWAY & PAID FOR ALL their transgressions on the Cross.)
