Continuing his point in truth, countering a misrepresentation of grace, Apostle Paul presents the resurrected Christ and our future resurrection (14). Jesus was raised from the dead, and we will be bodily raised too. Why? We will be raised because we are united with him in body. Those who believe in Jesus has a been united in body with Christ himself (15). The connection I have with Christ Jesus is not just spiritual; it is also body and soul. (Ephesians 5:29-32) This is a profound mystery.
Consider this: the foundation and establishment of marriage between Adam and Eve was nothing new. Marriage is based on the essence of the Trinity. The Father, the Son, and the Spirit are one and yet three. The Trinity is a perfect union that is also a profound mystery for love cannot exist unless it is bestoyed unto another. The Father loves the Son and the Spirit, and in them love exists. Adam and Eve were made one flesh in the image of the Trinity. The Spirit dwelling in them bound the couple one in soul and flesh.
Knowing this truth, Apostle Paul continues his case. When a person has sex with a prostitute (or anyone), they are united in body and soul. They are one flesh. Paul says, “Never unite the Lord with a prostitute” (15).
Verse 17 adds the specialty of Christ’s bond with his beloved. We are united with him in spirit. This too is a profound mystery. (Ephesians 5:21-33) Sacrid and profane cannot be joined.
