What does union with Christ mean for salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Union with Christ means that through His death and resurrection, believers receive salvation and new life.

Union with Christ is essential to understanding salvation in the Reformed faith. As depicted in Ephesians 2, believers who were once dead in their sins are made alive through their union with Christ. This union not only signifies that Christ’s death paid the penalty for sin, but it also assures believers that they share in His resurrection and new life. The implications of this union are profound: it means that believers are no longer enslaved by sin, but instead have been enabled to live in accordance with God's will. Moreover, this union is a demonstration of God's sovereign grace, illustrating that salvation is entirely of Him, as believers are drawn to Christ by the irresistible grace of the Holy Spirit.
