Matthew1344

Puritan Board Sophomore
All saints that are united to Jesus Christ, their head, by his Spirit, and faith, although they are not made thereby one person with him, have fellowship in his graces, sufferings, death, resurrection, and glory; and, being united to one another in love, they have communion in each other's gifts and graces, and are obliged to the performance of such duties, public and private, in an orderly way, as do conduce to their mutual good, both in the inward and outward man.

What are they saying?
 
Sometimes the easiest explanation is found in the sentence before. Though we are "united to Christ" we are not the person of Jesus.
