“What does it mean to be in Christ? Is it a question of location, like being in a house? Is it something like belonging to a club or an organization? No, the term “in Christ” is the apostle Paul’s shorthand expression for being united to Christ. It is one of Paul’s favorite expressions, and (including similar expressions such as “in him” or “in the Lord”) Paul uses it more than 160 times in his letters. Clearly this is an important concept in Paul’s theology. And it should be an important concept for us because all the remaining answers to the question, “Who am I?”, are based upon the fact that we are in Christ, or we are united to Christ.” Excerpt From: Jerry, Bridges. “Who Am I? Identity In Christ.”
