Romans 7:4 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ ;that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God. Now, of course, that begins in this earthly sojourn. As soon as we become a child of God, and we become a member of the Body of Christ through faith in the Gospel, we are already connected to Christ. We have become joint heirs with Him, and He is the Head and we make up the members of the Body. We find more of this in the Book of Ephesians. Ephesians is where Paul gets into some of the deeper aspects of our position in Christ. The Book of Ephesians is not a simple Book. Its very deep. But here in Chapter 5, Paul comes into the analogy of the husband and wife relationship here on earth, as being a correlation with Christ as the Head or Husband of the Body of Christ, that composite of Church Age Believers. The Body is unique to this Age of Grace and consist of those who have come by faith trusting in the finished work of the Cross.
