Why is spiritual union with Christ important?

Answered in 1 source

Spiritual union with Christ is vital because it is through this union that we receive His righteousness and partake in His grace.

The concept of spiritual union is foundational to understanding salvation in Reformed theology. John 17 emphasizes the depth of this union as Christ intercedes for His people, stating, 'That they all may be one as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee.' This underscores that our identity and righteousness before God are derived from our union with Christ. Paul further expounds on this in Ephesians 5, drawing parallels between the relationship of Christ and the church with that of marriage. This union assures us that we are not alone in our walk of faith; we are held and secured in Christ's grace, which empowers and sustains us throughout our Christian journey.
