IN the Scriptures the Christian's relationship to Christ is described under the symbol of the marriage tie: “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.” Rom. 7: 4. “I have espoused you to one husband.” 2 Cor. 11: 2. And the individual Christian is in this represented as having been espoused “as a chaste virgin to Christ.”
