committed wholly to one another in a relationship that touches mind,

Scott Hafemann quote
“When Christ died for our sins as the one true sacrifice (to which the
sacrifices of the old covenant had pointed), the veil in the temple that
separated God’s glory from his people split in two; when Christ rose from
the dead, the power of sin over our lives broke; when Christ ascended to
the Father, the Spirit was poured out in our hearts that we might be raised
to new life with him. Thus, in and through Christ, God’s people have been
‘perfected for all time’ as those God already considers holy in his sight and
is now making holy in their lives. In response, the Gospel is the declaration
that the long-awaited ‘end times’ or ‘last days’ when God would gather his
people to himself under a ‘new covenant,’ as part of a ‘new creation’
submitted to his reign in the ‘kingdom of God,’ began with Christ’s first
coming.
