Romans 7 .., That's true, except we are the ones who die to our sin- Once one dies, they are no longer 'tied' to the Law by covenant. (Just as death releases us from marriage vows: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+22%3A23-46&version=NASB
4 Therefore, my brothers and sisters, you also were put to death in regard to the Law through the body of Christ, so that you might belong to another, to Him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for God. 5 For while we were in the flesh, the sinful passions, which were brought to light by the Law, were at work in [g]the parts of our body to bear fruit for death. 6 But now we have been released from the Law, having died to that by which we were bound, so that we serve in newness of the [h]Spirit and not in oldness of the letter.
What does this mean?
Good Question: Paul speaks later in the chapter about a dual nature- we have a sin nature which we inherited from Adam, and a new nature. You could think of the sin nature as a badly mutated nature that wrecks havoc with our human nature, which is created in God's image. Our old nature that desires to sin is what is put to death. Also, in relation to the 'marriage' comparison, if our old nature is dead, it is no longer 'wed' to the Law.
