What does the Bible say about our identification with Christ?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible teaches that our identification with Christ means we participated in His death, burial, and resurrection, affirming our justification and ultimate glorification.
The Apostle Paul emphasizes our identification with Christ as a central element of the gospel. When Paul states that we are dead with Him, it signifies that Christ died not only as a private individual but as the representative of His people. This truth assures believers that since we are united with Christ in His death, we shall also live with Him (2 Timothy 2:11). Our identification assures us of our justification, as we are seen in the imputed righteousness of Christ, fulfilling God's justice on our behalf. Therefore, understanding our identity in Christ is essential for grasping the fullness of salvation and our eternal hope.
