What does it mean to be in Christ—and how does that change everything? In this powerful episode of All Things for Good, Pastor Josh Strelecki explores the deeply transformative doctrine of union with Christ, one of the most beautiful and foundational truths in all of Scripture.

Far from being a mystical feeling or vague religious phrase, union with Christ is a spiritual reality for every believer. Through faith in the gospel, the Holy Spirit baptizes us into the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ—removing us from our old identity in Adam and placing us into a secure, unchangeable position in Christ. As Pastor Josh explains from Romans 5–6, 1 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, and Colossians, this new identity redefines how God sees us, how we should view ourselves, and how we are empowered to live.

Listeners will come to understand that being “in Christ” means they are no longer condemned, but justified; no longer dead in sin, but made alive; no longer under wrath, but seated with Christ in the heavenly places. You are not striving for spiritual victory—you are standing in it, because you are identified with the Victor Himself.

This episode helps believers rest in the truth that their acceptance before God is not based on feelings, religious rituals, or personal performance, but on the finished work of Christ. Union with Christ is the foundation of our assurance, our calling, and our walk.

If you’ve ever wondered who you truly are in God’s eyes, this episode will deepen your understanding and strengthen your faith. You are known, loved, and sealed—because you are in Christ.
