What does it mean to be “in Christ”? It’s more than a sentiment or a line to close out an email. It’s one of the most profound, perspective-shifting, paradigm-altering Gospel truths hiding in plain sight across the New Testament. On today’s episode of the Great Stories podcast, David Wollen is joined by author and pastor Kyle Worley to discuss what it means to be united with Christ.
More than a theological concept, union with Christ is how we know and enjoy God. It’s also how the spiritual blessings of salvation are applied to us and become our own. It truly is a key doctrine of the Christian faith—one that undergirds and interconnects so many other essential teachings in God’s Word.
Home with God: Our Union with Christ
Most of us have a longing for home – the place of refuge. You are invited to live at home with God in Christ Jesus both now and forever.
Kyle Worley writes, “We don’t have to return to a garden or wait for heaven to live with God. This invitation into home with God is called union with Christ.”
Union with Christ is a core doctrine of salvation. The letters of the Apostle Paul alone use the phrase “in Christ” more than 160 times. Worley believes union with Christ is one of the most beautiful yet overlooked realities of salvation. He writes, “I am convinced that this doctrine will radically change the way you view God and your participation in His story.”
