Reas. 1. Because the Union between Christ and a true Christian is spiritual and everlasting.
1. It is spiritual, and therefore needs no vicinity of place to preserve it. A Husband and Wife, a Father and his Child are really united together, though a thousand miles distant.
2. It is everlasting, Hos. 2.19. I will betroth thee unto me for ever, &c. Herein it exceeds the Union between a Man and his Wife, which is only till death them do part. But the Union between Christ and a true Christian is not separated by death: Once in Christ, ever in Christ, Joh. 8.35.
2. It is everlasting, Hos. 2.19. I will besroath thee unto me for ever, &c. Herein it exceeds the Union between a Man and his Wife, which is only till death them do part. But the Union between Christ and a true Christian is not separated by death: Once in Christ, ever in Christ, Joh. 8.35.
