Summary
Wilbourne declares that to experience why the gospel is good news and answer life’s most foundational questions about identity, destiny, and purpose, we must understand what it means to be united to Christ. Since Christ has united his life to ours, we are now in Christ and Christ is in us. This is the central theme of the Bible, yet few Christians experience or enjoy this reality. This book reveals the transformational power of this ancient doctrine while addressing the basic questions of the human heart, concluding nothing is more practical for living the Christian life than union with Christ.
