Building on the theme of the believer's new relationship with the Torah, Brother Gideon Levytam provides a detailed explanation of Sha'ul's (Paul's) powerful marriage analogy. Just as a wife is legally freed from the law of her husband upon his death, our death with Yeshua the Messiah delivers us from the "oldness of the letter"—a state where the Law, interacting with our flesh, could only produce "fruit unto death." This deliverance, however, is not for lawlessness but for a new and glorious union. Having been freed, we are now joined to the resurrected Messiah. The purpose of this New Covenant reality is to empower us to serve God in a completely new way: not by the external letter that condemns, but by the internal "newness of the spirit" that gives life and produces fruit for God.
