WE ARE ONE WITH CHRIST!

The Apostle Paul tells us that all who are united to the Lord Jesus Christ by faith are really and truly one with him. "We are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones" (Eph. 5:30). "We are made partakers of Christ" (Heb. 3:14). We are so really and truly one with Christ that all that he is we are made to be in him. Christ has made us so thoroughly one with himself that he has even given us his name. His name is "THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS" (Jer. 23:6). And he declares that the name of his church is "The LORD our righteousness" (3er. 33:16). All that he is we are by DIVINE IMPUTATION. "Of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption" (I Cor. 1:30). There are no degrees of salvation, no degrees of acceptance with God, no degrees of our standing before God. By divine grace all who are united to Christ are perfectly innocent, pure, and holy in the sight of God. All that God requires, he has provided and given to all his elect in Christ.
