Married to Christ

Here’s what it means

Believers are released from the law’s condemning bond through Christ’s death and belong to the risen Christ to bear fruit for God.

Why the Bible says it this way

The writer uses a picture to explain one thing by describing it as another.

A helpful detail: Paul uses marriage law as an analogy; the believer’s union with Christ is real but not a physical marriage ceremony.
