Abundance: Union With Christ

Gary Sager

1. What is union with Christ? (Galatians 3:26-29)

· Vine and branches. John 15,

· Head with its body, Ephesians 1

· Temple and the cornerstone. 1 Peter 2

· Husband and a wife. Ephesians 5

2. Why is it important?

· We receive a new record.

· We get a new life. (Galatians 2:20)

· There’s a new freedom.

· We get a new family.

· A new future.

3. How do we live out this union?

“When we obey God, out of a grateful joy, that comes from a deep awareness of our status as children of God . . . then the idols which control our lives can be disempowered and we’re free to live for Christ.” ~ Tim Keller

“We are to count on or believe that we actually did die to the guilt and consequent dominion of sin…We are to believe that we truly have been set free. Not only are we to believe that we have died to sin; we also are to believe that we are alive unto God, united to the risen Christ and partakers of His divine nature. It is the belief in this truth that will give us the courage to not let sin reign in our mortal bodies.” ~ Jerry Bridges

WEEK 1: God is Absolutely Good

Reflection: God made a complex and beautiful world filled with diversity and then gave it to us along with the ability to enjoy it. This gift shows unimaginable love and generosity. And after we mishandled that gift, God gave his Son - the greatest gift ever. We have every spiritual blessing in Jesus which demonstrates God’s love, generosity, justice, mercy, and enduring trustworthiness to provide everything we need for a life of abundant faith.
