UNION WITH CHRIST “Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: …” (John 17:20-22) There are three unions that form the foundation of the Christian faith, each one equally vital to Christ’s believing Church. First is the union of the three divine persons of the Godhead. Though distinct in personality, co-equal in power and authority, co-eternal, co-glorious, yet one God. Belief in this distinguishes true Christianity from all other religions. The second union is that of the divine and human natures in the person of Jesus Christ. We believe that Jesus Christ is True God and while remaining so became and is presently True Man. We believe that this is essential to our faith and salvation. The third and equally vital union is the union of Christ with His believing people. Its vitalness is expressed by the little preposition “in” in the first eleven verses of Ephesians one. All of our spiritual blessings are IN Christ, verse three. The Sovereign’s choice of us was IN Him before the foundation of the world, verse four. Our son-ship is IN Christ, as you see in the latter part of verse four, and the first part of verse five. I quote, “…In love: Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to Himself, …” As the text continues in verse six we learn that the believer’s acceptance with God is in Christ. Verse seven says that our redemption and forgiveness of sins is in Christ and through His blood alone. In verse ten we learn that in the consummation of the ages all that make up the body of Christ, whether in heaven or earth, shall be gathered together in Him. In verse eleven Paul concludes, “In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who worketh all things after the counsel of His own will.” Let me ask you, are you in Him?” If so you have all, and are in need of nothing at all; if not you have nothing at all, because Christ filleth all, and is all and in all. In Him I hope; in Him I trust; His bleeding cross is all my boast; Through troops of foes He’ll lead me on, To victory and a victor’s crown
