What does it mean to have union with Christ?

Answered in 1 source

Union with Christ means believers are spiritually united with Him, sharing in His life, death, and resurrection.

Union with Christ is a profound theological concept that denotes the believer's deep and inseparable connection with Christ. In Exodus 12:8, the Israelites were instructed to eat the lamb, symbolizing the necessity of consuming Christ spiritually. Just as physical food becomes part of us, so does Christ become our sustenance when we receive Him by faith. This union transforms us—in His death, we die to sin, and in His resurrection, we are made alive to God. Through this union, God the Father is able to accept us, not in our own righteousness but through the righteousness of Christ. This beautiful doctrine assures us that we are not simply followers of Christ; we are one with Him, sharing in His life and His redemptive work.
