Who You Are “In Christ”

Eph. 1 • II Co. 5:17 • Col. 1:13 • Rom. 5:12

1. You Have a Legal Right
   1. On the grounds of Jesus’ victory over Satan, you have a legal right to all Jesus accomplished:
      • Eternal life
      • Victory over Satan; sin, sickness, fear…
      • A home in heaven
      • Use of the name of Jesus in prayer
      • The Father’s care and protection
      • A son’s place in the family
      • A redeemed body at the appearing of Jesus
2. What “In Adam” and “In Christ” Mean
   1. All living humans are either “in Adam” or “in Christ.”
   2. Picture two houses, two-worlds – your choice.
   3. Being “in Christ” is a result of the new birth.
   4. One-third of you is in heaven right now. Eph. 1:3
3. Accept Who You Are “In Christ”
   1. Highlight the 134 references to “in Christ,” “in Whom” and “in Him” throughout Ephesians and the New Testament.
   2. Reject all feelings or comments contrary to God’s Word.
   3. A word-ruled mind says: “I’m not moved by what I feel or see.” II Co. 5:7
   4. Not future tense. You are these things NOW.
4. Agree With What God Says About You
   1. Take the New Testament seriously.
   2. Become God-inside minded.
   3. You are righteous! Settle this in your heart.
   4. God sees you through the blood. So must you. Eph. 1:7

“Righteousness is the ability to stand in the presence of the Father without the sense of guilt, condemnation, or inferiority (as though sin had never existed).”
