Defenders LIVE! // Doctrine of Salvation Part 7: The Union of the Believer with Christ (continued) //
We’ve been talking about the mystical union between Jesus Christ and his church – between the individual, regenerate believer and Christ. Last time we saw that the expression “in Christ” or “in him” is one of Paul’s favorites; some 164 times in his epistles Paul uses this expression to describe all that we are and have in Christ. We saw last time that in Christ we are chosen, called, foreordained or predestined, created to good works, sealed by the Holy Spirit, justified, sanctified, and co-crucified with Christ.
Today, let’s continue that list by looking at some of the other blessings that we have insofar as we are united with Christ.
