Why is the concept of union with Christ important for believers?

Answered in 1 source

Union with Christ illustrates the profound relationship and interconnectedness between believers and Jesus, impacting their identity and conduct.

The concept of union with Christ is foundational in understanding the believer's identity and relationship with God. In Acts 9, when Jesus asks Saul, 'Why persecutest thou me?' (Acts 9:4), it highlights that persecution of the church is an offense against Christ Himself, indicating an ontological union between Christ and His followers. This relationship defines how believers should view themselves and their actions. Understanding our union with Christ encourages a lifestyle reflective of His nature, as it establishes the grounds for our identity as new creations, fundamentally changing how we live and engage with the world.
