The Privilege of Union
Commentators explain that being "partakers of Christ" is a profound privilege. It signifies a deep, spiritual union where believers share in Christ's very nature, righteousness, and life, much like a branch is vitally connected to a vine. This isn't just a title; it's a description of a life-giving relationship that is the foundation of all Christian blessings.
