“Faith in Jesus unites us to him. We are one with him such that we now abide in him and live in him. This relationship is so all-encompassing of our Christian lives that the terminology of being united to Jesus comes up a staggering amount in the New Testament. In contrast, the word “Christian” is found only three times. This alone should make us consider what we might be missing if Scripture’s main way of talking about those who belong to Jesus is different to ours.”

“Through union with Christ, we have justification. Apart from it, the righteousness of God would be forever beyond our reach and hope. But in Christ, what is his can properly become ours, just as in marriage, what belongs to one properly belongs to the other.” Article Link

This article from Crossway gets to the heart of what our faith is all about. It’s not just about following doctrines or traditions. Being “in Christ” is fundamental to every aspect of our Christian walk. This concept of union with Christ isn’t just theological; it’s practical and impacts everything we do.

We would love for you to share your thoughts on the topic. At Warriors in Christ, we are all about living out our true identity in Christ.
