Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley continue their discussion on the core doctrines of the Christian faith by having a conversation about union with Christ. Questions Covered in This Episode: What is union with Christ? Why does it matter? Why do we have an unbalanced understanding of this? Why do we think more about Christ in me? How does the story of the prodigal son show us union with Christ? What is the difference between Union with Christ and communion with God? How is the story of union with Christ the story of “home with God”? Where do we find union with Christ in the Bible? When we say that Christ is in us, are we talking about the Holy Spirit? What are some of the benefits of salvation? How does union with Christ help us understand our reception of these benefits? How does being in Christ lead us to sanctification? Helpful Definitions: Union with Christ: Being united to Christ by grace through faith. This means that now our identity is rooted in Christ, we are incorporated into a new people in Christ, and we are participating in God's world in God's ways in Christ.
