  The key term easiest to relate to for me is Participation. The most difficult one is Union.
  It is not hard for me to see and understand how a believer like myself participates in the key events of the gospel and life of Jesus. His birth into the world is very much like mine. His temptations and experiences as a man are very much like mine. Spiritually speaking, upon trusting in Christ we become one with Him in His death, burial and resurrection. We also participate in His eternal priesthood.

  Union is a little difficult for me to grasp because I have trouble seeing myself, because of my sins and sinfulness, as being one with Christ. My lingering and compulsive sinful behaviors make it hard to feel like I am in union with Christ.

  It is easier to identify with Christ, because we are His. I really don’t feel any of them are hard.

  The easiest term for me to relate with is incorporation, the fact that we are believers we are connected automatically by Our union with Christ. We are connected with the one thing we all have in common our Heavenly Father.
  The most difficult to relate to is identification, we are under Christ’s rule therefore my walk with Him has to represent Him in all I do. I sometimes fall short but my union and faith in Christ helps me to remember I don’t walk alone.

  The easiest term is Identification, Why? Because when Christ came into my life He transfused the nature of Adam with His nature – The Holy Spirit. I am no longer under the rule/authority of Adam’s sinful nature. And, although I am in the flesh, God’s Holy Spirit is operating in me and all I have to do is ask for help.
  The hardest/most difficult terms for me are Participation and Incorporation. Participation means to accept and believe that everything that happened to Jesus Christ also happened to me. Incorporation means we are all one in Christ. That is especially difficult to believe when the evidence is not seen in today’s Christian circle.
