Our deification/theōsis is certainly liberation from death and corruption, but it is also adoption as sons, the renewal of our nature by participation in the divine nature, a sharing in the bond of love of the Father and the Son, and finally entry into the kingdom of heaven in the likeness of Christ.

Our union with Christ is indestructible. No cosmic power can touch us. We are safe in union with the One who is the eternal Son of God.

The union we enjoy with Christ is more real and more fundamental than the union we have with members of our own bodies.

The faithful have a relation with the Trinity that is far, far closer than they enjoy with other human beings, no matter what relationship they may have with them. This goes beyond fellowship to communion (or participation) and is strictly a union, a joining together that is unbreakable.

The incarnate Christ unites within himself the human and divine; he is united to God the Father because he is God by nature, and on the other hand he is united to human beings because he is truly human.

It is Christ who justifies, not our faith, nor anything in us, even if that is due to the work of the Spirit. It is by our union with Christ that we benefit from his righteousness; and it is exclusively through faith, which looks away from ourselves to Christ, that we receive it.

Because of the union established between Christ and his elect people, the wrongs done by the guilty parties have become Christ's as well. In turn, the righteousness of the One who bears the punishment actually belongs to the other, since both are regarded as one.

Since we are united to Christ, God regards us in the identical way he does Christ. The Father treats us in exactly the same way as he does his own eternal and beloved Son.

Faith is effective not in itself but because it unites us to Christ. Justification is by faith alone not because of what faith merits or achieves but because of what it receives.

The basis of our union with Christ is Christ's union with us in the incarnation. We can become one with him because he first became one with us. By taking human nature into personal union, the Son of God has joined himself to humanity. He now has a human body and soul, which he will never jettison.

Until we are united with Christ what he has achieved for us helps us no more than an electricity mains supply that passes our house but is not connected to it.
