A Covenant of Mutual Belonging

The phrase "My beloved is mine, and I am his" is a powerful declaration of a mutual, covenant relationship between Christ and the believer. Commentators explain this isn't just an emotional statement, but a reality founded on God's gift of the Son, Christ's sacrificial purchase of His people, and the believer's willing surrender to Him. This creates an unbreakable, intimate union.
