 Theologians make a helpful distinction between our “union” with Christ and our “communion” with Christ.  In simple terms, our union with Christ depicts the spiritual and eternal relationship Christians have with Christ.  The Bible reveals that every believer is in Christ and Christ is in every believer (see Jn.15:4; 1Jn.4:13).  Everyone who truly receives Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior is united with Christ.  Since this union is established by Christ’s redemptive work and rooted in His sanctifying work, every true believer is eternally united with Christ.  This union is the irrevocable work of the Holy Spirit, and cannot be diminished, damaged, or destroyed by sin.  Nothing believers do, or don’t do, can make them more or less united with Christ.
