Kindle Notes & Highlights
Communion with God—this is what the whole Bible is about!
Union with Christ—not only is it in the Bible, but it’s what the Bible is all about!
The real reward of embracing our union with Christ is that you can now find your place in the story.
The Bible is “living and active” because the living Christ is actively speaking through these words.
The church is in desperate need of a way to express the grace of the gospel and the demand of the gospel in a way that enhances both without canceling either. If you have ever asked these questions, union with Christ is your answer.
As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love. [You hear the grace in this.] If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love. [You hear the demand following right after. And then you hear the consequence.] These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full. (John 15:9–11)
