The death of the Christ on the cross was to provide divine forgiveness and riddance of guilt for past sins, opening the way for a changing of the disciple in freeing from sinful ways, making the disciple one with himself in knowledge of the truth he brings. The sacrifice sets aside the wrath of God towards the disciple as they gain this freedom and cease their damnably sinful misdeeds. Each disciple should know, experience, and honour the truth of this unity with the Christ. It comes by the Holy Spirit purifying the gospel believer by powerfully imparting to them heavenly truth and favour from Jesus, then the believer holding to this by persisting in the purity it gives them, so they remain one with the heavenly seated Christ, and not bound by the Law of Moses, as the gospel revealed by Jesus Christ proclaims, but right with God through this heavenly work of the Holy Spirit based on the death and resurrection of Christ for you. This then is the basis of unity between those so united with Jesus the Christ.
