How do we know the union between Christ and His Church is true?

Answered in 1 source

The union is affirmed in Scripture, reflecting God's eternal plan for redemption and the believer's position in Christ.

The truth of this union is grounded in Scripture, specifically Ephesians 1:4-6, where Paul describes the eternal election of the church as being chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world. This divine choice not only establishes our identity but also solidifies our connection with Christ, much like a vine and its branches (John 15:1). It is through faith and regeneration that believers are grafted into this living union, drawing spiritual life and nourishment from Christ. Moreover, Romans 5:18-19 illustrates that our acceptance before God comes through Christ's redemptive work, showing that the union is both a theological reality and an experience of Christians individually and collectively.
