+## Definitions
+I will start by defining what *exactly* I mean by each of the words in the title. This is to prevent any confusion with my position and to help see what I am seeing.

+4. **Those who have been justified.** The believer has been declared righteous by God, not on their merits but solely on Christ's righteousness being imputed (credited) to them (Romans 3:24-25a, Heidelberg Q. 60).
+5. **Those who have union with Christ.** The believer is united with Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17) and adopted into God's family as His child.
