We must always remember that union with Christ is possible because of the Son’s descent to earth, not because of our ascent into heaven. The basis of our union with Christ is Christ’s union with us in the incarnation. He became one with us so that we might become one with Him.

Kevin DeYoung
Kevin DeYoung (* 1977) ist ein US-amerikanischer reformierter Theologe, Pastor der Presbyterian Church in America und Buchautor. Er gilt als prominente Stimme des zeitgenössischen Neo-Calvinismus, engagiert sich bei The Gospel Coalition und vertritt ein komplementaristisches Rollenverständnis sowie eine traditionelle Sexualethik. Bibellesern vermittelt er theologische Fragen und Themen der christlichen Lebensführung aus klassisch-reformierter Perspektive, stößt mit seinen konservativen Positionen jedoch auch auf inner- und außerkirchliche Kritik.
