    What does it mean to be in Christ Jesus?
  • Rick - In Reply on Exodus 1 - 3 years ago
    Fanita When we confess Romans 10:9+10 we receive Gods gift of Holy spirit from that point on being in

    Christ is to walk by Gods word in action via the spirit given us, better known as fellowship with Christ and God.

    Fanita,

    For me, being in Christ Jesus would mean that I have received Him into my life as my Lord and Savior. He is in me and I am in Him and nothing can separate me from Him. Jesus said in John 14:20, "At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye (in me), and I in you. So Jesus is making a connection for us here.

    In Colossians 2:9, Paul says "For in Him, (in Christ), dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily" or in bodily form. When we receive Christ, and we are born of His Spirit, we have the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit living inside of us. Not part of Him, all of Him. You know how long it is going to last? Forever!

    We have to understand that we have a spirit. And when God's Spirit comes into our spirit, we become one, never to be undone. His Spirit is in our spirit. And when we die, when our spirit leaves our body, He's taking us. His Spirit and our spirit will never be separate from now, throughout eternity!

    So this is what it means to me to be in Christ Jesus. I am in Him, and He is in me.

    Fanita Verses pertaining to in Christ or in Christ Jesus or of Christ which is always in reference to the son of God seated at Gods Right hand in the Heavenlies and the power and authority of that position spiritually. Romans 1:16 3:24 7:4 8:!+2 Notice no condemnation In Christ Jesus 8:9 of Christ basically whole chapter about Christ and walking by the

    spirit of God which is Christ in us the Hope of Glory. We were saved by the Humiliated one our Lord Jesus Christ, we walk

    in the Exalted Resurrected Christ spiritually. Read all the verses concerning the above mentioned context its

    dynamite.

    Fanita This is a daily moment by moment spiritual walk and lifestyle. You should look in the church epistles

    and write down the places this specific term is used. It relates to where Gods sees us how he sees us what He's

    given us the power available to us how we should think about us how God thinks about us. It is Most used In

    in the Epistle to the Ephesians. In Gods eyes spiritually we are seated in the heavenlies in Christ!
