Some doctrines are tragically overlooked. One of those overlooked doctrines is union with Christ. Dr. Brad Wetherell seeks to revive this precious doctrine in his book, Saved to Sin No More. Wetherell’s definition of this critical doctrine is set forth at the beginning of his work: ”Union with Christ refers to the believer’s position in Christ established at conversion, experienced in all of life, and enjoyed forever.” This crucial reality is explained in clear terms and is undergirded by the doctrines of grace.

The author highlights the central themes of our union with Christ by pointing readers to key texts in Romans 5-6. He underscores the great benefit that believers enjoy, which goes beyond mere salvation. He points to the gospel realities that focus on sanctification, Christian growth, and battling sin with holy passion.

Martyn Lloyd-Jones' students will appreciate relevant quotes highlighting our union with Christ. Wetherell reminds Christians of the hope that we possess in Christ: “He has made us fruitful, pruning what is evil from our lives and producing what is good. He has guaranteed our future, promising to bring us through this life and into the glories of the life to come.”

I especially encourage new believers to carefully study the precious treasures that are explored in this book. My hope is that Saved to Sin No More will encourage Christ-centered passion to reach a crescendo in the lives of many. Soli Deo gloria!
