Our union with Christ is indissoluble, unceasing, and determinative at all times and in all places. There is never the smallest fraction of a fraction of a second when we are not living and moving and having our being in union with Jesus. For the believer, union with Christ is everything.
This is a quote from Dan Cruver's book, Reclaiming Adoption. Dan was at an orphan care conference I went to earlier this month where he talked about the theological reason for adoption shown through the trinity. It's all about who we, as believers, are in Christ. The book is about the theology of adoption, who we are through the adoption as sons into the Lord's family, and how to live missionally in God's adoptive love. This book is great. I'm only halfway through the book at this point, it is just so rich and so true. Even if adoption isnt on your radar at all you should read this book. Simply said, it helps believers get a better handle on our identity and mission as children of God.
