  Identification is the easiest for me to relate to. I realized that I had been deceived and was living for all the wrong things. It changed my entire perspective on life. I now want to follow Jesus’ way, not the world’s way. It changed everything.

  The most difficult for me is Union. I understand it on a basic level, but I want to be closer. Maybe it will come in time and as I continue to pray and pursue oneness with Christ. I feel like there is more I should be doing, but I don’t know what that is yet.

  Union is easiest for me to relate to. When I was younger and even up to today,
  I always knew new the Holy Spirit is within me. Therefore, Jesus is the Holy Spirit,
  who abides in me. So, Jesus, through the Holy Spirit, is one with me and I am union
  with Jesus as one entity.

  Identification is somewhat harder for me in the sense of understanding all Jesus did and does for me.
  It is immense. I know and believe all of what He gives and gave of himself for me. Yet, I wonder
  how great our Lord is!

  Easiest key term: Identification
  Explanation: Thankful for the fruit that comes from identifying with Christ; the historical and daily (well, alot of the time!) lived experience of being transformed by Christ and living under His perfect rule. In contrast, if I choose to identify with Adam, I reject the vast riches that God offers through union with Christ. A sumptuous eternal feast? Or perishable scraps from the floor? The me, the choice is easy.

  Most difficult key term: Union
  Whilst I believe, accept and am thankful for the theology related to Union in Christ, I cannot grasp its spiritual substance. My understanding is bound to the physical world in which I exist. I see but a dim reflection. And I am aware of my inadequacy in attempting to explain this spiritual reality to others.

  I don’t think any one is easier to relate to. I relate to them all. I think because I believed in Jesus as Savior and Lord when I was a young teenager, and had solid Biblical teaching when I was very impressionable.

  Participating is the easiest. Identification is probably the hardest. Alot of time I have difficulty identifying our LORDs will for my life.
