Firm Foundations: United In Christ

from Grace Life · host Jamie Wright

In Week 4 of the Firm Foundations series, we arrive at the foundation beneath every foundation: Union with Christ. Christianity is not about living for Christ at a distance—it’s about Christ living His life in us. This message dismantles the old-covenant mindset of a distant God who comes and goes and reveals the new-covenant reality of seamless oneness with Father, Son, and Spirit. Union is not a new doctrine or poetic language—it’s covenant reality. At the cross, humanity was included in Christ’s death, burial, resurrection, and now His life. You were co-crucified, co-buried, co-raised, and co-seated with Him. Belief doesn’t create this union; it awakens us to what was already accomplished. This episode explores how union answers the deepest questions of the human heart—Do I belong? Am I accepted? Am I secure?—and boldly declares that separation from God is no longer possible in Christ. God is not occasionally nearby; He is permanently present. Discover how union is the foundation of salvation, justification, sanctification, and transformation from the inside out—and why the gospel begins not with us accepting Jesus into our lives, but with realizing that we have been accepted into His life.
