Why is the union of Christ and His people significant?

Answered in 1 source

The union of Christ and His people signifies the intimate relationship and commitment that guarantees salvation.

The union of Christ with His Church is of immense significance in Christian theology. It illustrates the intimate relationship that believers share with their Redeemer, comparable to the relationship between Boaz and Ruth. This union is not only personal but it is eternal, affecting every aspect of life and eternity. In Ruth's story, we see that she was drawn into redemption through a sovereign act of grace, reflecting how believers are drawn to Christ through the Gospel. Our union with Christ ensures that we are not alone; it provides us with the nourishment and security we need. As believers, we find our identity in this union, and it is through this relationship that we grasp the fullness of God's love and grace, culminating in eternal life.
