Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley discuss Union with Christ, Trinitarianism, and Romans 8:1-18Questions Covered in This Episode:What is the “therefore” there for?“In Christ Jesus”How am I declared righteous?How do we reconcile the way that Spirit of Christ and Spirit in Christ are used? (V. 9)How do we understand the Spirit of Christ also being the Spirit of the Father?How is what Paul is saying here different from gnosticism? (V. 5-8, 12-18)Is the doctrine of Union with Christ that we are in Christ or that He is in us? (V. 9-10)Discuss the doctrine of adoption.Helpful Definitions:Existentially: In our lived experience of the world.Union with Christ: God invites us to live in His home, and His home is Jesus.
