The Ultimate Goal of Prayer: CONSTANT COMMUNION WITH GOD

Constant Communion begins with UNION WITH CHRIST

Definition : Union with Christ is a phrase used to summarize several different relationships between believers and Christ, through which we receive every benefit of salvation. These relationships include the fact that we are in Christ, Christ is in us, we are like Christ, and we are with Christ. Wayne Grudem, Systematic Theology

“Christ in you, the hope of glory.” Colossians 1:27 ESV “I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.” Galatians 2:20 ESV

“I am the vine; you are the branches “I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.” John 15:5 ESV “teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:20 ESV

“Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.” John 16:7 ESV “Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you?” 1 Corinthians 3:16 ESV

“For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,” 1 Timothy 2:5 ESV Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:6 ESV

“And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." Acts 4:12 ESV

the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, "This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me." In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me." For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.

Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of profaning the body and blood of the Lord. Let a person examine himself, then, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment on himself. 1 Corinthians 11:23-29 ESV
