The Heart of a Shepherd: Romans 7:1-6

In this sermon, Pastor Kohl continues his series on Romans. In Romans 7, Paul uses another allegory to speak of the transformation that occurs in the Christian. Previously, he has used the allegories of a dead body vs. one that is alive, and slavery. Now he uses the allegory of a marriage. A married woman is bound to her husband for as long as he lives, but if he dies she is free to marry another, so in Christ the Christian has died to the law that we may be married to Christ. Why does Paul belabor the point so much? What is Paul's motivation here?
