  I find the term union, for me, is the one I identify the easiest with. It is how I was taught to live, believe, just being like Christ, which is not always easy.
  The term that I find a little difficult to relate to, is incorporation. Purely because of the cultures we live amongst. It is very difficult to exercise correct incorporation; conflict free, loving.
  Otherwise, all four terms are essential for my well-being.

  Identification-I am no longer truly connected to this world. I am under Christ’s rule.

  I can relate to identification, in that by accepting Jesus as our Lord and Saviour, we no longer belong to this world. I now live the way Jesus wants me to live and I can only do this through His strength.
  I think the union is a bit difficult to relate to, since I see myself as flawed I feel I am not worthy to be in “one flesh” with Him. It’s a concept I’m going to have to get used to.

  Incorporation is the easiest. When we are in Christ, it follows that we should be united with our brothers and sisters in Christ.

  The most difficult is union, from a theological view point. How could we who are sinners by nature by united with the infinite holy one? It’s remarkable!

  I think the easiest for me to understand is identification. I can more easily see how we switch kingdoms and go from being in Adam to being in Christ. I think the most difficult would either be participation and/or union. I sit and try and meditate on my union with him sometimes. There are moments I can definitely tell He is working through me, and then there are moments when I am completely aware of my own humanity and I do not feel connected to Him.
