That You May Belong to Another

In "That You May Belong to Another," preached on August 3, 2025, Pastor Robert McNutt expounds Romans 7:1–6, drawing on the marriage metaphor Paul uses to illustrate the believer's transformation from bondage under the Law to freedom in union with Christ. Pastor McNutt emphasizes that believers have died to the Law through the body of Christ, that they may belong to Him who was raised from the dead—Jesus Christ. This union, he explains, brings with it profound privileges: we share Christ's name, standing, spiritual riches, angelic ministry, and access to the Father. McNutt insists that this "marriage" to Christ is not optional but essential for bearing spiritual fruit. The message culminates in a call to evaluate one's relationship with Christ and to embrace the sanctifying, fruit-producing intimacy offered through His Word.
