So, my brothers and sisters, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, that you might belong to another, to him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for God.

Romans 7:4

FaithAI Explains

Paul addresses the transformation that occurs when believers join with Christ. Through Christ's sacrifice, Christians 'died to the law,' meaning they are no longer under its strict requirements and penalties. This death to the law is symbolic of a new beginning, akin to a marriage where one is now united with Christ. Belonging to Christ, who was resurrected, signifies a new life that is not bound by the old covenant but is instead filled with the Holy Spirit's guidance.

This new relationship with Christ is intended to produce 'fruit for God,' which refers to living a life that reflects God's love, grace, and righteousness. The metaphor of bearing fruit suggests that believers are called to live lives that are spiritually productive, showcasing virtues like love, joy, peace, and patience. This transformation is not just about personal salvation but about living in a way that impacts the world positively, demonstrating the power of Christ's resurrection through our actions and character.
