The Bible’s teaching is very clear; to be a Christian is what the Bible describes as being ‘in Christ’. This means that all Jesus accomplished for his believing people is counted by God as yours- forgiveness, adoption into God’s family and a one-way seat to Heaven.
Think of it like this; if you are in a plane you fly at 300 mph at 30,000 feet all while you enjoy a coffee and read the paper! The plane does the work and you enjoy the benefit.
So, to be in Christ, by faith, is to rest in the benefits of His finished work.
Are you ‘in’ or ‘out’ of Christ today?
