Charles Spurgeon himself once said, quote, there is no joy in this world like union with

Christ.

The more we can feel it, the happier we are, end quote, such a great quote there from

Spurgeon.

You know, union with Christ is the center of our salvation.

It's at the center of our sanctification and the central to all of the deepest joys that

we have in this life and dozens of New Testament texts prove the dominance of this theme over

and over again.

So how can we get our head around all these texts and really feel this union as we ought?

That's today's email.

Hello, Pastor John.

My name is Taylor, a 21 year old student at Moody Bible Institute in Chicago.

Thank you for your teaching and preaching over the decades.

My question is, what is union with Christ, the more I study and read, especially older

theologians and church fathers, the more I see this concept spoken of, but it does

not make sense to me yet.

I don't hear a lot of pastors talking about it today, even.

Can you help me?

What does it mean to be united to Christ and what are a few of the most significant implications

for my life?

I think the most important thing I can do for Taylor is to give him confidence that he can

answer this question for himself with his concordance in a way that will bring more assurance
