We know Christ is our source of life through scriptures that teach our union with Him and the transformative power of His resurrection.
The certainty that Christ is our source of life is supported by both scripture and theological understanding of our union with Him. As noted in John 5:21, 'The Son quickens whom He will,' indicating that true spiritual life originates from Christ alone. Moreover, Romans 6:5 teaches that we share in His resurrection, which guarantees our spiritual revitalization. Our lives reflect the power of His resurrection, indicating a profound union that secures our eternal hope—'you are also risen with Him.' This union not only assures our justification and sanctification but also instills an enduring hope that He who lives in us ensures we partake in His eternal life.
