Union with Christ says that Christ is not simply at the center of our lives; he is at the center of all creation and holds all things together, visible and invisible (Col. 1:16). He is “before all things” (v. 17), the creator of all things (John 1:3), the sustainer of all things (Heb. 1:3), and the one in whom all history finds its purpose (Eph. 1:10). This is the Christ to whom we are united!
