If you're in Christ, you're not waiting for blessings — you're already loaded with them. You're not climbing some religious ladder, hoping to get noticed. You've been placed inside the One the Father is well pleased with. That's not a feeling. That's your fact.
What It Means to Be "In Christ"
"In Christ" isn't spiritual jargon. It is the Gospel in two words. When you trusted Jesus, God didn't just forgive you—He put you in Him. You and Christ are now joined—a union, not religion. You aren't trying to get closer to God. You are in Christ, and Christ is in you.
Your new position means:
Ye are dead to sin
Alive unto God
Risen with Christ
Seated in heavenly places
You're not trying to get to heaven — you're already seated there spiritually.
How You Got In
You didn't climb into Christ by good behavior. You came by faith, and God placed you.
Here's how you entered:
You heard the Gospel — Christ died for your sins and rose again
You believed — not just the facts, but Him
You received Him, and He received you
You didn't earn your way in. You were brought in by grace. Now rest in it.
Secure In Him
If you're in Christ, you are secure. Not because you hold on tight, but because He does.
You are:
Accepted in the beloved. Ephesians 1:6
Your life is hid with Christ in God. Colossians 3:3
No man can pluck you out of the Father's hand. John 10:29
You're not hanging by a thread. You're sealed, settled, safe.
Your Identity Is Now Christ's
Your past doesn't define you, and your failures don't disqualify you. Your identity is found in Christ alone.
Who are you now?
Chosen – "According as he hath chosen us in him…" – Ephesians 1:4
Adopted – "Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children…" – Ephesians 1:5
Redeemed – "In whom we have redemption through his blood…" – Ephesians 1:7
Sealed – "In whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise." – Ephesians 1:13
His workmanship – "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works…" – Ephesians 2:10
And the great exchange:
He took your place and gave you His standing. That's not temporary. That's forever.
Living From Christ, Not For Approval
You're not working to be accepted. You're already accepted. Now you live from that truth.
Live from your position, not trying to earn it
Set your affection on things above, not this world
Fight the good fight — but know you're already on the winning side
You're in a battle, but not against people. It's spiritual. And you've got armor.
Walk in what He's prepared for you.
One Question Remains: Are You In or Out?
This isn't about church membership or good behavior. It's about location — are you in Christ or not?
But here's the invitation:
He doesn't push you away. He draws you in.
So today, right now, you can walk in Christ. Sealed. Loved. Heaven-bound.
Or you can keep trying to do it on your own. But why would you?
Come to Christ. Be found in Him. Live from Him. And never look back.
Already Seated
Blessed be God, the Father above,Who chose to flood us with heavenly love.Not scraps from a table, not crumbs on the floor—He gave us all blessings, and then gave us more.
Not climbing, not striving, not earning a place,But found in the Son, by mercy and grace.No ladder to heaven, no merit to prove—He placed us in Christ—we’ve nothing to move.
You’re not on the outside, longing to win;You’re sealed, secure, already in.No shame can unseat you, no fear can unbind;You’re hidden with Christ, in the heart of God’s mind.
You heard the good news—He died, then He rose.You trusted the Savior, not rituals or robes.And now you are chosen, adopted, redeemed,More real than your failures, more true than your dreams.
You're not working for love—you're working from it.Not begging for light—you're walking in it.You fight, but from victory. You run, but in grace.You’re wrapped in His righteousness, held in His place.
So don’t look behind, and don’t try to earn.You’ve got what they chase, but can’t ever learn.It's not religion. It's union. It's done.You are in Christ—and the Father loves the Son.
