Hi all,
For my reformed friends: Question 30 of the cathechism states:
"The Spirit applieth to us the redemption purchased by Christ, by working faith in us, and thereby uniting us to Christ in our effectual calling."
"Working faith in us" quite obviously points to the "creation" of faith in the believer's heart. But does this "working faith in us" include the exercise of said faith, as in "I believe Christ died for my sins"
Otherwise said, how does the working of faith in us unite us to Christ?
My question is motivated by the debate between the WTS and the WSC on this topic of union with Christ. I have not picked a side and would just like to better understand the material first before attempting to adjudicate.
Thanks,
P92
