How does union with Christ grant believers hope?

Answered in 1 source

Union with Christ gives believers the hope that they are co-heirs with Him in salvation.

The doctrine of union with Christ is foundational to understanding the believer's relationship with Him. As seen in 2 Samuel 5, the acknowledgment of David's kingship resonates deeply with the concept of being 'bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh.’ Through this union, believers participate in the life, death, and resurrection of Christ, as Romans 6:5 articulates. This union ensures that what Christ achieved is credited to those who believe; when He lived righteously, they lived in Him; when He died for sin, they died with Him. This profound mystery infuses believers with hope, knowing that their salvation is secure, their identity is bound in Christ, and their future is certain—sealed by the Holy Spirit. It encourages a deep sense of belonging and assurance, urging Christians to live out their faith with confidence in God's perfect plan.
