Union with Christ (My Notes from podcast)

We enter into union with Christ by grace through faith. He becomes the source of our life, strength & blessedness.

Important words: in Him (Christ), with Him(Christ), through Him(Christ), into Him(Christ)

We identify, participate & are incorporated into & with Christ’s life, death, resurrection, ascension & heavenly session

We are united (knitted)  with Christ in every aspect of His life.

He obeyed perfectly on our behalf

In death He fully paid the price for the penalty of our sin

In resurrection He triumphed over death & the grave

In the ascension is in the very presents of the Father

In heavenly session we are knitted with Him in the on going work at the right hand of the Father (participants in God’s mission to the world)

We were in Christ from the beginning and became co- participants at the moment of His incarnation
