1 Corinthians 1:30–31

What does it mean to be in Christ? The answer is nothing less than the heart of the gospel itself. In this sermon from 1 Corinthians 1:30–31, we explore the glorious truth that salvation is union with Christ. Every blessing of the gospel—justification, sanctification, adoption, redemption, and glorification—flows from this one reality: believers are united to the Son of God who became man for our salvation. Union with Christ is not merely one aspect of Christian theology—it is salvation. From eternity past to the final glory, every part of our redemption is rooted in our connection to Christ. We are united to Him by faith, and that faith itself is the gracious gift of God.
