We are transformed by our union to Christ in His death and resurrection, as we know this union, consider it, and act on it.

Not only is the believer transformed by a new Joy and a new Union, but also a new Master. Whereas Sin was a hard taskmaster paying only bondage, misery, and death, God is a loving and kind Master granting holiness and everlasting life!

The believer is transformed by a new husband. He has died to his old husband, the Law, and been joined to his new husband, Jesus Christ, in His resurrection glory. This new marriage gives the believer an entirely new motivation and power for living the Christian life.
