Showing results for "Union with Christ" in Religion & Spirituality

Many people in the church today face an identity crisis. But the Apostle Paul had no question about what it meant to be a Christian: he was “in Christ.” Recovering this New Testament phrase is the key to understanding our identity and enjoying all the blessings of salvation. In this book, Dr. Sinclair Ferguson introduces the defining reality of the Christian life—our union with Christ. As we embrace the transformative truth of being “in Him,” we can live out of the fullness of joy, purpose, and assurance that the gospel brings.

Union with Christ is like the central hub of a bicycle wheel with many key components of our faith (salvation, sanctification, glorification, etc.) connected to it. We should never read too quickly over the words, “in Christ” and similar phrases in Scripture as they show us God’s incredible plan for our lives. Hosted on Acast.

Union with Christ is an important theological and practical concept that has received considerable attention in recent years. But not much consideration has been given to this union and its benefits in light of Jesus's resurrection and ascension. In this follow-up to his monumental A New Testament Biblical Theology, G. K. Beale summarizes and expands on that work with an eye to fleshing out the theological implications of the resurrection and ascension.

Queen of Apostles is launching a podcast! The Podcast will include Catechesis from Fr. McCullough and Fr. Christian's Family Faith Formation Sundays.
