How does Joseph's wife Asenath represent Christians?

Answered in 1 source

Asenath symbolizes the bride of Christ, representing believers who are united with Him despite their sinful origins.

Asenath, given to Joseph, represents the union of Christ with His body, the Church. Despite her origins as the daughter of priests who worship idols, she typifies the way the Lord chooses and redeems a people for Himself from the world—much like how God selects those whom He loves from a pool of sinners (Ephesians 1:4-5). This image aligns with how Christ's bride, the Church, is called out from darkness into His marvelous light, showcasing grace's transformative power over our sinful identities.
