How does the Bible define the mystical union with Christ?

Answered in 1 source

The mystical union is a vital and spiritual connection between Christ and believers, ensuring His role as the source of their life and strength.

The mystical union is characterized by a profound, intimate, and spiritual connection between Christ and His people. This union is what sustains the believer's spiritual life and is described in various biblical illustrations, such as the relationship of a bride and groom or that of a vine and its branches. It signifies that believers are not only connected to Christ in a legal or positional sense, but in a living way that affects their daily lives and spiritual vitality. Louis Berkhof summarizes this union well, stating it is through this bond that Christ becomes the source of their life and salvation.
