How does union with Christ affect a believer's experience?

Answered in 1 source

Union with Christ profoundly transforms a believer's life, granting them both the experience of His sufferings and the assurance of their salvation.

Union with Christ is a foundational aspect of Reformed theology, emphasizing that believers are spiritually joined to Him. This union allows Christians to participate in His death and resurrection, as stated in Romans 6:3-4. It signifies not only positional righteousness but also experiential elements where believers experience the fellowship of His sufferings and the power of His resurrection in their lives. Thus, through this union, Christians encounter the reality of trials and tribulations, which yield spiritual growth and deeper dependence on Christ. This assurance of salvation bolsters their faith, reminding them that they are co-heirs with Him and will share in His glory.
