We can distinguish [the] two aspects of our union with Christ this way: Our legal union with Christ entitles us to all that Christ did for us as He acted in our place, as our substitute. Our vital union with Christ is the means by which He works in us by His Holy Spirit. The legal union refers to His objective work outside of us that is credited to us through faith. The vital union refers to His subjective work in us, which is also realized through faith as we rely on His Spirit to work in and through us. Though our union with Christ has two aspects, it is one union. We cannot have legal union without also having vital union. If through faith we lay hold of what Christ did for us, we will also begin to experience His workings in us.

INSTRUCTIONS

DOUGH
TOPPINGS
From "The Best Bread Machine Cookbook Ever", by Madge Rosenberg 1. Add all
ingredients for the dough except the barley malt syrup in the order
suggested by your bread machine manual and process on the dough cycle
according to the manufacturer's directions.
2.  at the end of the dough cycle, remove the dough from the machine.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.  In a large pot bring 2 quarts of water to
a boil.
3.  While the water comes to a boil, divide the dough into 8 pieces. Roll
each piece into a roll 12 inches long. Make a circle of each piece,
overlapping the ends by at least an inch and pressing or rolling the
overlap tightly to seal.  Let the bagels rise for only 5 minutes.
4.  Add the malt syrup to the boiling water. (The syrup gives the bagels
their golden color.)  Lower a few bagels at a time into the boiling water.
As soon as the bagels rise to the top, remove with a skimmer or spatula to
a lightly greased baking sheet. Sprinkle about 3/4 tsp. of any of the
toppings over each bagel and bake 20 minutes, or until golden.
