Book Summary of Union With Christ by Rankin Wilbourne


The current cultural moment in the West does not lend itself well to views that include tenets of exclusivity. Culturally speaking, concepts that were once black and white have become widely accepted as gray. Gender has been decoupled from biology in culture writ large, marriage has lost its sacred place as a union between one biological male and one biological female, and the list continues. All of this is concerning for a follower of Jesus that holds to traditional, orthodox views of biblical standards. 

However, perhaps the most concerning reality is that it has become widely accepted that there are many roads that lead to heaven. Believers must understand the exclusivity of Jesus that declares that the road is narrow that leads to eternity. Another culturally imposed value that needs to be corrected is that the exclusivity of Jesus is intolerant or unloving. This book attempts to provide the believer with the tools to help restore an understanding that not all roads lead to heaven, and because of that, it is the role of the disciple to make sure as many people as possible find the narrow road that leads to life.

Overview:

The current cultural moment in the West does not lend itself well to views that include tenets of exclusivity. Culturally speaking, concepts that were once black and white have become widely accepted as gray. Gender has been decoupled from biology in culture writ large, marriage has lost its sacred place as a union between one biological male and one biological female, and the list continues. All of this is concerning for a follower of Jesus that holds to traditional, orthodox views of biblical standards. 

However, perhaps the most concerning reality is that it has become widely accepted that there are many roads that lead to heaven. Believers must understand the exclusivity of Jesus that declares that the road is narrow that leads to eternity. Another culturally imposed value that needs to be corrected is that the exclusivity of Jesus is intolerant or unloving. This book attempts to provide the believer with the tools to help restore an understanding that not all roads lead to heaven, and because of that, it is the role of the disciple to make sure as many people as possible find the narrow road that leads to life.
