The purpose of this mini book is to help believers develop a deeper grasp of what it means to be "in Christ", that together we might embrace this intimate oneness more fully by faith and experience more of the confidence, power, and soul-satisfying joy of the presence of our exalted Redeemer. Charles Spurgeon said it best: "There is no joy in this world like union with Christ! The more we can feel it, the happier we are, whatever our circumstances." Through the careful exposition of relevant biblical passages regarding this subject, this little book is certain to animate this joy.
