What does it mean to have union with Christ?

Answered in 2 sources

Union with Christ means believers are spiritually intertwined with Him, sharing in His life, death, and resurrection (John 6:56).

Union with Christ is a fundamental aspect of Reformed theology, signifying that believers are not merely followers of Christ but are organically connected to Him. John 6:56 expresses this profound relationship: 'He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood dwelleth in me, and I in him.' This indicates that through faith, believers participate in the life-giving sustenance of Christ, whereby His righteousness is imputed to them, and they are made alive together with Him in His resurrection. This union assures believers of their eternal security and their present empowerment to live a life that reflects Christ's glory.
