LIFE IN CHRIST

How do you see yourself? How do others see you? ...WHO CARES! (it's not who I am, It's Who's I Am!)

Below is how God see's you and what legally belongs to you. These are your rights, privileges and provisions as a child of God.

The Bible is a legal document, sealed by the blood of Jesus. In God's eyes you are righteous (in right standing with God). You are sanctified (set apart, made holy). You are justified (acquitted, just-as-if-I'd never sinned). You have an abundance of grace (God's favor). This is your new life in Christ!

In Christ (see yourself as God see's you)

You are no longer in Adam. You are in Christ! These scriptures tell you:

(1). Who you are. (2). What you are. (3). What you have, BECAUSE OF CHRIST. For instance, when you were in Adam you were unrighteous in everything that you were. But now that you are in Christ you are righteous, you have the righteousness of God (Phil.3:9).

Before you were born again, God saw you in Adam and you had the nature of the devil in you. Now that you are born again, God sees you in Christ and you have the nature of God in you (II Peter 1:4). You use to spend your life in Adam, now you spend your life in Christ!

Take a high-lighter or colored pencil and begin with the Book of Romans and search through all the letters of the New Testament for the phrase, “in Christ,” “in Him,” “in whom,” “through whom,” etc. There are less than 150 of these expressions.
