The Believer's Identity in Christ

     To be in Christ is to be identified with Him in a real and personal way. The Christian who is advancing spiritually must, at some point, learn to live in the reality of his new position in Christ. By faith, his life experience should grow to reflect the reality of his position in Christ and in the family of God. Truth, love, mercy, grace, righteousness, sacrifice, and other Christian virtues should become increasingly evident as the believer engages in his daily pursuit of God, as he seeks to lay hold of the One who in love laid hold of him and by grace saved him and displayed His wonderful riches upon him. Here are just a few the blessings for the believer:

1. We are blessed with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places (Eph. 1:3).
2. We are children of God (John 3:6; Gal. 3:26; 1 Pet. 1:23; Tit. 3:5).
3. We are given eternal life (John 3:16; 10:28; 20:31).
4. We are made ambassadors for Christ (2 Cor. 5:20).
5. We are transferred to the kingdom of Christ (Col. 1:13; 1 Thess. 2:12).
6. We are all saints in Christ Jesus (Eph. 1:18-19; 2:19).
7. We are made kings and priests to God (Rev. 1:6).
8. We are indwelt and sealed with the Holy Spirit (1 Cor. 3:16; 6:19; Eph. 1:13).
9. We are guaranteed a new home in heaven (John 14:1-3).
10. We have special access to His throne of grace (Heb. 4:16).
