Book Summary of Union With Christ by Rankin Wilbourne


The gospel of Jesus is the frame through which every aspect of the Christian life should be viewed and lived. Every relationship for the follower of Jesus should be shaped by the reality that our sin separates us from God, but He brings us near to Him through the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus. 

This is especially true of marriage. However, marriage has begun to be framed more through the lens of the current cultural moment than through the transformative power of the gospel and God's Word. 

Well meaning pastors and Christian leaders have inappropriately placed the marriage relationship as the pinnacle and telos of the Christian life. Marriage is not the end to which Christ-followers should try and attain, rather, it is a means to the true end, which is union with Christ, above all else. 

Followers of Jesus must live their lives in light of the reality that God's grand story of redemption has shaped everything and every human interaction.
