Drawing parallels with Paul’s confrontation in Galatians 2, they emphasize the importance of both theological depth and practical application for the health of the church, and reflect on how the Gospel’s power redefines identity and community across cultural boundaries.

Union with Christ is a Vital Doctrine
Dr. Edmund Fong (Singapore), Academic Dean at Trinity Theological College, joins Theo Global’s Michael Horton and Adam Smith to discuss the doctrines of Union with Christ and Justification. Dr. Fong unpacks Union with Christ as the summational theme that grounds justification, sanctification, and adoption. He describes as an architectural “house” containing various “rooms” like justification, sanctification, and adoption. He argues that while justification serves as the essential entrance or “living room” of salvation, it should not be conflated with the other transformative benefits of faith.
