Preaching the Gospel to yourself!

1 Corinthians 15:1-4 1 Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2 By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain. 3 For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures.

The Big Question Romans 6:1 1 What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase?

Our Union with Jesus is the answer! Romans 6:2-5 2 By no means! We died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? 3 Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4 We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life. 5 If we have been united with him like this in his death, we will certainly also be united with him in his resurrection.

“Nothing is more central or basic than union and communion with Christ....Union with Christ...in its broader aspects underlies every step of the application of redemption. Union with Christ is really the central truth of the whole doctrine of salvation not only in its application but also in its once-for-all accomplishment in the finished work of Christ. Indeed the whole process of salvation has its origin in one phase of union with Christ and salvation has in view the realization of other phases of union with Christ…There is no truth, therefore, more suited to impart confidence and strength, comfort and joy in the Lord than this one of union with Christ.” ~ John Murray, Redemption: Accomplished and Applied. pg. 161, 171

The model of justification which would eventually gain the ascendancy in the later Reformation was formulated by Calvin in the 1540s and 1550s. The basic elements of his approach can be summarized as follows. Faith unites the believer to Christ in a “mystic union.” (Here, Calvin reclaims Luther's emphasis upon the real and personal presence of Christ within believers, established through faith.) This union with Christ has a twofold effect, which Calvin refers to as "a double grace." First, the believer's union with Christ leads directly to his or her justification. Through Christ, the believer is declared to be righteous in the sight of God. Second, on account of the believer's union with Christ - and not on account of his or her justification - the believer begins the process of being made like Christ through regeneration. Calvin asserts that both justification and regeneration are the results of the believer's union with Christ through faith. ~ Alister E. McGrath Christian Theology: An Introduction, page 443
