Divine Union

3 sermons

Divine union represents the profound relationship between God and humanity, a theme that resonates throughout Scripture. In John 15:4, Jesus invites believers to abide in Him, illustrating the intimate connection that believers are called to experience. This union is not merely a theological concept but a transformative reality, as Paul articulates in Galatians 2:20, where he states, 'I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me.' Such a relationship signifies a deep, abiding presence of God within the believer, leading to a life that reflects His holiness and love. The beauty of holiness, as discussed in 'The Beauty of Holiness Is the Beauty of Divine Union,' emphasizes that true beauty emanates from this divine connection, aligning with 1 Peter 1:16, which calls us to be holy as God is holy. Furthermore, the concept of the super-sensual life, explored in 'Of the Super-Sensual Life,' encourages believers to transcend ordinary experiences and embrace the spiritual realities found in Christ. Ultimately, as highlighted in June 14, 1678, 'God Doth Sow Himself in Man,' we are reminded that this divine union is not only a gift but also a calling to reflect God's glory in every aspect of our lives.
