Dr. Beeke lucidly sums up the believer's union with Christ:

"Union with Christ, which is one of the gospel’s greatest mysteries, is possible by grace because Christ took on our human nature, filling it with His virtue. This union in turn produces through Spirit-worked faith communion with Christ, by which believers participate in Christ’s benefits. Communion with Christ is the result of the Spirit’s work, which is astonishing and experiential rather than comprehendible. The Holy Spirit is the link that binds the believer to Christ and the channel through which Christ is communicated. Through this union and communion with Christ, believers are empowered by the Spirit to live and grow in Christ so that they may increasingly walk with the triune God and come increasingly to know Him as their heavenly Father, redeeming Savior, and sanctifying Spirit." - Forward from Maurice Robert's Union & Communion with Christ
