What does it mean to be 'one flesh' with Christ?

Answered in 1 source

Being 'one flesh' with Christ signifies the deep union and identification believers have with Him through faith.

The phrase 'one flesh' used in Ephesians 5:31 is rooted in the Genesis account of marriage, indicating a profound unity between two individuals. In the New Testament context, believers are metaphorically considered to be one with Christ. This unity reflects that believers share in His life, death, and resurrection. As they are joined to Him, they become partakers of His righteousness and share in His status before God, not just as individuals but as a collective body. This relationship assures every believer of their intimate connection to Christ and the benefits of redemption.
