Resurrection Replication
What obtains in the life/experience of Christ as resurrected and seated in the heavenlies pertains to the church's life/experience in union with Christ. This principle of soteric replication explains the resurrection structure of union with Christ. It is resurrection life in Christ - the very resurrection life of Christ - believers possess in union with Christ. Therefore, replication of the resurrection life of Christ in believers occurs by means of union with Christ.
