I live in the United States of America, 50 Separate State governments United together to form a great nation. Sports teams comprised of different players with varied talents join together as a team with one common goal, to win. And then there’s marriage. Two different people joining together to become one in life together. But there’s another uniting that’s important to us. Our uniting with Christ. When we accept Christ and believe, we’re not joining a team or a political organization, we’re being joined, United with Jesus Christ. God the Father does this as a sovereign act of His will. He joins our spirit to His Spirit. It’s a mystery, a miracle, but it’s true. The Bible says…
“God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much, that even though we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead. (It is only by God’s grace that you have been saved!) For he raised us from the dead along with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ Jesus. So God can point to us in all future ages as examples of the incredible wealth of his grace and kindness toward us, as shown in all he has done for us who are united with Christ Jesus.“ (Ephesians 2:4-7)
You are so special to God. Since He has United you, that is placed you, in Christ, when He looks at you He sees His Son Jesus Christ. Subsequently He sees us as the righteousness of God in Christ. This is your true status, your position ever after. United with Christ.
