LINKS WILL BE LOCATED AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE FOR SCRIPTURES AND CONFESSIONS OF IN-CHRIST TRUTHS.

IN CHRIST, WHEN UNDERSTOOD, IS "THE MOST" IMPORTANT PART OF OUR REDEMPTION.

IT MAKES THE BORN-AGAIN MAN EVERYTHING THAT CHRIST IS. . .

WHEN A PERSON IS BORN-AGAIN, CHRIST LIVES IN HIS SPIRIT; HE BECOMES ONE WITH CHRIST (JOHN 15:5)

HE'S THE VINE, WE ARE THE BRANCH.

THE BORN-AGAIN BELIEVER BECOMES ONE SPIRIT WITH THE LORD. (I CORINTHIANS 6:17)

THE REASON WHY IN CHRIST IS SO IMPORTANT IS BECAUSE THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN GOD'S PLAN FOR MAN. (COLOSSIANS 1:27)

EVERY BIT OF GOD'S DEALING WITH MAN WAS IN CHRIST.

EVERY BIT OF WHAT GOD WANTS YOU TO BE IS IN CHRIST.

ALL THAT GOD HAS MADE YOU IS IN CHRIST AND GOD PUT YOU IN CHRIST AT THE NEW BIRTH.

ALL YOUR VICTORIES, ALL YOUR BLESSINGS, HEALING, PROSPERITY, FREEDOM FROM FEAR, DELIVERANCE FROM SATAN ARE ALREADY YOURS IN CHRIST JESUS.

AS YOU REALIZE WHAT GOD HAS ALREADY MADE YOU, YOU WILL BEGIN TO RISE TO THE HEIGHTS OF VICTORY THAT CHRIST HAS ALREADY WON.

THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT REVELATION TO MAN IN THE BIBLE!

OVER HALF OF THE NEW TESTAMENT IS TAKEN UP WITH THIS SUBJECT.

DIVE INTO THIS REVELATION AND SPEND YOUR LIFE THERE!

IT IS GOD'S WILL!!

PHILEMON V6 IN THE KING JAMES VERSION:
. . .THAT THE COMMUNICATION OF THY FAITH MAY BECOME EFFECTUAL BY THE ACKNOWLEDGING OF EVERY GOOD THING WHICH IS IN YOU IN CHRIST

AS YOU BEGIN TO AFFIRM WHO YOU ARE IN CHRIST WITH YOUR MOUTH, OUT LOUD, AND ACT LIKE IT, THEN (AND ONLY THEN)WILL IT BECOME REAL TO YOU.

THE NEW TESTAMENT, MAINLY IN THE EPISTLES WRITTEN TO THE CHURCH, USES PHRASES AND PREPOSITIONS LIKE IN CHRIST, IN HIM, WITH CHRIST, THROUGH CHRIST, IN WHOM, BY CHRIST, BY HIM, OF HIM, THROUGH HIM, WITH HIM, IN HIS NAME, ETC. IT IS THROUGH THESE EXPRESSIONS THAT GOD REVEALS TO US EXACTLY WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE HAVE ALREADY (PAST TENSE) BECOME BECAUSE OF THE REDEMPTIVE AND SUBSTITUTIONARY WORK OF JESUS CHRIST.

THE NEW TESTAMENT SPEAKS OF THE BELIEVER BEING IN CHRIST. THIS TAKES PLACE AT THE NEW BIRTH. EVERYTHING THAT THE NEW TESTAMENT SAYS WE ARE IN CHRIST IS IN THE BORN-AGAIN BELIEVER, LEGALLY, AT THE VERY MOMENT HE IS BORN-AGAIN. IT BECOMES VITAL OR REAL TO THE BELIEVER AS HE OR SHE BEGINS TO AFFIRM THESE TRUTHS WITH HIS/HER MOUTH.

EVERYTHING THAT GOD WANTS THE BELIEVER TO BE, HE PUT IT IN CHRIST, AND THEN HE BROUGHT THE BELIEVER INTO UNION WITH CHRIST. (HE IS THE VINE AND WE ARE THE BRANCHES.)

DAILY CONFESSING THESE TRUTHS WILL BUILD THEM INTO YOUR SPIRIT (HEART) AND CAUSE YOU TO RISE UP TO THE STATE OF MATURITY THAT GOD IS REQUIRING!
