What “In Christ” Means
“For by him all things were created, in the heavens and on the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things have been created through him, and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things are held together. He is the head of the body, the assembly, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. For all the fullness was pleased to dwell in him; and through him to reconcile all things to himself, by him, whether things on the earth, or things in the heavens, having made peace through the blood of his cross.” (Colossians 1:16-20 WEB)
The central focus of Heaven is our Lord Jesus Christ.
He is the head of the church. When we received Him as Lord, we became members of His body. This is what it means to be IN CHRIST.
We all have different callings and purposes, just like different parts of the body. But we need each other, and the whole body is built up in love.
To be in Christ means that whatever He is and has, is also yours. Your new identity is inseparable from Him.
If a person touches a table, we say, “John just touched the table.” We don’t say, “The hand that is on John touched the table.”You are part of the body of Christ, so God treats you as Christ.
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ;” (Ephesians 1:3 WEB)
God has placed every spiritual blessing in Heaven in Christ. When we identify with Christ and realize that whatever is His is also ours, we can begin to experience these truths as observable realities in our life.
Say this with me, “Because I am in Christ, God’s righteousness, grace, favor, mercy, power, honor, protection, divine life, and every spiritual gift is also mine. This truth overrides all temporal facts in my life right now, in Jesus’ name, Amen!”
