Being in union with Christ means that believers are spiritually joined to Him, sharing in His life, death, and resurrection.
Union with Christ is a profound theological concept that signifies the intimate relationship believers have with Jesus. This union is described in Galatians 2:20: 'I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me.' This means that through faith, believers partake in Christ's righteousness and are empowered by His life. The implications of this union extend to every aspect of the believer's life, from justification to sanctification, as they are daily reliant on Christ's work and presence. Ultimately, this union affirms believers' identities as children of God and members of Christ’s body, resulting in a transformed life.</p>
