I recommend "The Whole Christ" by Sinclair B. Ferguson, which talks about the challenging tension between legalism and antinomianism, among other things.

Yes, I do. As does /u/bsmason
Here's a hit list.
Episode 200 of Christ the Center. Richard Gaffin Jr. and his student Lane Tipton in particular are the best. If you are not familiar with Christ the Center, check them out. They also did a whole conference on Union with Christ. You will also find a debate between Horton and Tipton on this topic.
One With Christ
The Chapter on Union with Christ in John Murray's Book, Redemption Accomplished and Applied.
Sinclair Ferguson has now written on it in his excellent and recent book The Whole Christ. This one is good because he speaks on the dangers of Legalism and Antinomianism, which are the resultant errors when we get a function theology of Union wrong.
Tangentially related: Mark Jones' Antinomianism, Reformed Theology's Unwelcomed Guest is also related to the topic. He is particularly strong on Christology, and consistently emphasiszes that we are united to Christ, the God-Man and how this should impact us.
I have read all these books, some more than once, and recommend them.
When a person becomes a Christian they are united with Christ.
They become one with him in a supernatural union.
Ever noticed how many times the Bible talks about us being 'in him' or 'in Christ'? (here are a few examples Phil. 1:1, 2 Cor. 5:17, Eph. 1:3-10).
Also, ever considered that we received Christ and that he is 'in us'? (2 Cor. 6:16, Rom. 8:9-11).
What this essentially means is that everything that Christ is and did becomes a part of us.
We ARE holy because we are in Jesus and he is holy.
While we are not holy in an of ourselves, the Holy Spirit in us is changing us to be more like Jesus - he is making us more like Jesus and therefore making us holy.
In him we are considered holy, and the work of the Holy Spirit in us is making us holy.
Part of the work of the Holy Spirit is to help us want to be more like Jesus. Just think for a minute how you view Christ:
Jesus was the one to perfectly bear the fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.
To emulate Jesus as his disciple (as close as is possible) you'll need to seek these things in your life and through prayer. These things will lead to holiness.
Don't fret though, as I said before, the Holy Spirit is in you and is going to help you to do this.
If you'd like to read more about 'union with Christ', check out this pretty good article explaining it by Rory Shiner. If you really want to understand the concept, check out 'The Whole Christ' by Sinclair Ferguson. Be warned though: reading this book may well blow your mind and inject something very powerful into your walk with God ;-).
