This union is not just a spiritual truth, but has practical implications for our daily lives, including our identity, value, and freedom from sin and death. [... more]

Our eternal security is a done deal, and we have been glorified from God's viewpoint, with the promise of resurrection and an eternal inheritance in heaven. [... more]

The Apostle Paul teaches that as children of God, we are destined for glory, and our future state is secured through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The glory of God was lost due to Adam's sin, but Jesus Christ has come to restore it, and we are called to share in His glory.

This union with Christ gives us a new status before God, and for that status and identity to be felt, it's a radical ongoing business. Christians must take arms against the idea that they have any identity more basic than sharing the Son's own life before the Father. [... more]
