Union with Christ: Reformation Truths with Michael Reeves

Summary

The sermon explores the biblical theme of union with Christ as the grand romance culminating in the marriage supper of the Lamb, referencing Bernard of Clairvaux and Reformation theologians like Calvin and Sibbes. It contrasts medieval views of union as a fluid, attainable state through sacraments with the Reformers' understanding of union as a stable, foundational reality received by faith through Christ's centrality. The practical takeaway is that true Christian life and hope are rooted in this unshakeable union, which fundamentally reorients believers from sin and death in Adam to life and righteousness in Christ through engrafting.
