Romans 7:2-4

2 For [instance] a married woman is bound by law to her husband as long as he lives; but if her husband dies, she is loosed and discharged from the law concerning her husband.

    

3 Accordingly, she will be held an adulteress if she unites herself to another man while her husband lives. But if her husband dies, the marriage law no longer is binding on her [she is free from that law]; and if she unites herself to another man, she is not an adulteress.

    

4 Likewise, my brethren, you have undergone death as to the Law through the [crucified] body of Christ, so that now you may belong to Another, to Him Who was raised from the dead in order that we may bear fruit for God.

  

How much clearer can our Father be to us? No one considers a woman to be committing adultery if she remarries after her husband dies. Our Father tells us plainly and repeatedly that the Law has died for us. Jesus came and was successful and through His sacrifice and success the Law is now dead. So the Truth is that we are now discharged from it. We have remarried, we are now the Bride of Christ, and Christ is all about free and unearned Grace. 

Could you imagine how bad a marriage it would be if a woman continually kept talking about and doing the things that her dead husband demanded of her? What if her new home was filled with his pictures and she daily tried to talk about and do what he had said? The new marriage would stink! Yet, go into churches and see all of the Ten Commandments hanging around. Listen to the preachers tell us what we have to work and how we have to act. They mention grace, our new husband, but it's always tied to getting to Him through our old dead husband. That is just creepy when you think about it. It's like telling the woman that to please her new husband, she must work through her dead husband. 

Father that is good teaching right there! Empower us Father to really know what your grace is. Allow us to live in its fullness and power and empower us Father to share its Truth with the world so that they may be set free.
