Let me explain that title! When we talk about our lives with Christ, it's very comparable to when a woman's husband dies. In the law of the Old Testament (and in my personal opinion except for a few cases), a woman should not marry another man while her husband is alive. But, when her husband dies, she is free to begin a relationship with another man.
Jesus is that other man!
What, what? We are all wives? We are marrying Jesus?
Not really!
But, all of us are "married" to the law when we're born. That means if we do something wrong, we get punished. If we do something good, rewards come our way. It's the "eye for an eye" way of living. But, Jesus death was the death of the law. So, we are free to live a different way. We are free to find a new relationship.
Now we can have a relationship based on grace, forgiveness, hope and love. If we mess up, we can be forgiven. Heck, we may get rewards for no good reason. All's we have to do is say, "I Do!"
