Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley continue their discussion on the core doctrines of the Christian faith by having a conversation about union with Christ.
Questions Covered in This Episode:
- What is union with Christ? Why does it matter?
- Why do we have an unbalanced understanding of this? Why do we think more about Christ in me?
- How does the story of the prodigal son show us union with Christ?
- What is the difference between Union with Christ and communion with God?
- How is the story of union with Christ the story of “home with God”?
- Where do we find union with Christ in the Bible?
- When we say that Christ is in us, are we talking about the Holy Spirit?
- What are some of the benefits of salvation?
- How does union with Christ help us understand our reception of these benefits?
- How does being in Christ lead us to sanctification?
Helpful Definitions:
- Union with Christ: Being united to Christ by grace through faith. This means that now our identity is rooted in Christ, we are incorporated into a new people in Christ, and we are participating in God's world in God's ways in Christ.
