Reformed Audio Presents: John Murray
"Union with Christ is the central truth of the whole doctrine of salvation. All to which the people of God have been predestined in the eternal decree of God, all that has been secured and procured for them in the once-for-all accomplishment of redemption, all of which they become the actual partakers in the application of redemption, and all that by God's grace they will become in the state of consummated bliss is embraced within the compass of union and communion with Christ. . . . Union with Christ reaches its zenith in adoption and adoption has its orbit in union with Christ. The people of God are 'heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ' (Rom. 8:17). All things are theirs whether life or death or things present or things to come, all are theirs, because they are Christ's and Christ is God's (I Cor. 3:22, 23). They are united to him in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge and they are complete in him who is the head of all principality and power."
