This isn’t feel-good Christianity. This is the Word.
HBC Podcast (The Heart of Biblical Christianity) is a verse-by-verse breakdown of the Bible, hosted by Blake and Drew who are committed to truth over feelings and Scripture over opinion. We wrestle with hard passages, challenge assumptions, and let the Bible speak for itself. Come ready to think, learn, and be sharpened.
In this episode, Blake and Drew continue their verse-by-verse study through the book of Romans, focusing on Romans 7:1–6. Paul uses the illustration of marriage and the law to explain an important truth about the believer’s relationship to the law through Christ.
Blake and Drew unpack what Paul means when he says that believers have “become dead to the law by the body of Christ” and have been joined to Christ so that they might bring forth fruit unto God. The discussion explores the difference between serving in the “oldness of the letter” and serving in the “newness of spirit.”
This passage builds on the truths of Romans 6 and helps explain the believer’s freedom from the law’s former dominion, while emphasizing a new life devoted to Christ and producing fruit for God.
