REVIEW: Union with Christ by Rankin Wilbourne

About the Book

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.

If you are a Christian, the Bible says that Christ has united his life to yours, that you are now in Christ and Christ is in you. This almost unfathomable truth is the central theme of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. Yet few Christians today experience or enjoy this reality. Union with Christ reveals the transformational power of this ancient doctrine while addressing the basic questions of the human heart:
Who Am I?
Why Am I Here?
Where Am I Headed?
How Will I Get There?
Nothing is more practical for living the Christian life than union with Christ. The recovery of this reality provides the anchor and engine for your life with God—for your destiny is not only to seeChrist, but to actually become like him.

My Review

The author, Rankin Wilbourne, in Union with Christ is explaining a simple utmost truth. "If you are a Christian, the Bible says that Christ has united his life to yours, that you are now in Christ and Christ is in you." Rankin wrote Union with Christ due to his concerns that the church is not enjoying this fact to the fullest extent that it should be. Union with Christ is definitely some of the same 'ol, same 'ol for long time believers. I think Union with Christ would be better for new believers, however still a good reminder for experienced Christians.
