In Christ - We are a new creation 2 Corinthians 5:17Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!

In Christ - We will be made alive 1 Corinthians 15:22For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. 2 Corinthians 1:21-23 21Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us, 22set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come. In Christ - We are free from condemnation Romans 8:1Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus In Christ - We are reconciled to God Ephesians 2:13But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ. In Christ - We are sons of God Galatians 3:26-27 26You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus, 27for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. In Christ - We are free Galatians 2:4This matter arose because some false brothers had infiltrated our ranks to spy on the freedom we have in Christ Jesus and to make us slaves. In Christ - We always triumph 2 Corinthians 2:14But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of him.

In Christ - We are one as a body of believers Romans 12:5so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. Galatians 3:28There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. Ephesians 3:6This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members together of one body, and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus.

But join with me in suffering for the gospel, by the power of God, 9who has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time 2 Timothy 2:1 1You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. Colossians 1:28We proclaim him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ.
