Identification: A Romance in Redemption

Identification: A Romance in Redemption

What does "Identification" mean? It means our complete union with Him in His Substitutionary Sacrifice.<br /><br />The teaching of Identification is the legal side of Redemption. It unveils to us what God did in Christ for us, from the<br />the time He went to the Cross, until He sat down on the right hand of the Father.<br /><br />Christ became one with us in sin, that we might become one with Him in righteousness.<br /><br />He became as we were, to the end that we might be as He is now.<br /><br />There is a two-fold oneness: first, His oneness with our sin and humanity on the cross; second, our oneness with Hi<br />Him in His glory on the throne.<br /><br />In the fact of Identification we have one of the richest phases of Redemption.<br /><br />When these truths really gain the ascendancy in us, they will make us spiritual supermen. This is an unveiling<br />of what we are in Christ, how the Father sees us in the Son.<br /><br />It will be the end of weakness and failure. There will be no more struggle for faith, for all things are ours. There<br />will be no more praying for power, for He is in us. There will no longer be the awful bondage of sin conscious-<br />ness, for we are the Righteousness of God in Christ.
