The article author’s take on the question…

And if you ask me which blessing I love most right now, the answer is easy: union with Christ. For, in him, I have everything, so that I don’t really need to decide whether I love justification or sanctification more than another. I’m comforted, primarily, by the fact that I belong to Christ and his work for me and in me will not fail.

Views expressed are always my own and not my employer's, my church's, my family's, my neighbors', or my pets'. The house plants have authorized me to speak for them, however, and they always agree with me.
