The way I describe it simply to others is the notion that Paul uses that, as we're united to Him by faith, we are united to His death and resurrection. We die to the curse of the Law and rise again in newness of life with Him. I like the terminology above that speaks about the perfection or culmination of the work of justification. His resurrection vindicates His sacrifice and is an earnest toward our own.
