Episode 69 - Union with Christ

 
 

In this episode of Counsel the Word Pastor Keith Palmer talks with Dr. Stephen Yuille on the important doctrine of union with Christ and how it effects our Christian life and counseling. Here are some things discussed.

  • When we speak of “union with Christ,” what do we mean? What are some key texts of Scripture?

  • It has been said that “union with Christ is the heartbeat of the Christian faith.” How so?

  • We hear so much today about “identity” and “identifying as this or that.” How does the doctrine of “union with Christ” speak to a generation that’s consumed with “finding” or “choosing” their identity?

  • What’s the relationship between the doctrine of union with Christ and the believer’s sanctification?

  • Martyn Lloyd-Jones said that the doctrine of “union with Christ” is the “greatest truth we will ever know.” Why?

  • What are some of the main ways we can make use of this doctrine in a discipleship/counseling context?
