John Murray wrote that “union with Christ is . . . the central truth of the whole doctrine of salvation. . . . It is not simply a phase of the application of redemption; it underlies every aspect of redemption”
Union with Christ is the indissoluble bond between the Triune God and his people, wherein they enjoy and share the eternal righteous love within and with the Trinity because of the work of Christ and by the work of the Spirit.
In this episode Spencer and John give an introduction into the New Testament's doctrine of Union with Christ: how it is central to our redemption in Christ, our communion with God, and our understanding of the Spirit's work within us.
