Results of Being in Christ

Born again Christians have been given a new life in Christ. Learn how Ephesians 1 reveals many blessings only Christians receive.

First, only Christians have been redeemed in Christ. This means Jesus paid the price to liberate you from sin.

The picture we can get is like the high priest on the Day of Atonement, sprinkling the blood to atone for your sins, upon the Mercy Seat in the Holy of Holies.

Jesus is your Great High Priest and has given you redemption “through His blood.”

Second, only Christians have been forgiven in Christ. True forgiveness is foreign in this world! Nobody in this world truly forgives; not like how God forgives us through the shed blood of Jesus Christ.

When God forgives us in Christ, it’s like being released from a bondage or imprisonment. We’ve been freed and God remembers our sins no more!

Third, only Christians receive abundant grace in Christ. Grace is simply described by the acrostic G-R-A-C-E. Grace is God’s Riches At Christ’s Expense.

We don’t deserve God’s grace. And we can never earn His grace nor be good enough for it. Grace is God’s free and abundant gift, and it’s only found in Christ Jesus.

Fourth, God has revealed His will to us in Christ. Only Christians have the mystery of the will of God revealed to them. Through Jesus, God shows us how to live and what His plans are for our lives.

As Christians, we have access to the Heavenly Father, who has all wisdom.

Fifth, He gathers us together in Christ. Although we live in a broken and fallen world, one day, Jesus is going to come back and gather all believers to Himself and make all things new.

Sixth, only Christians will obtain a future inheritance in Christ. God promises us that we will have a shared inheritance with Jesus Christ in His future kingdom.

Finally, we are sealed with the Holy Spirit in Christ. The Holy Spirit’s seal on our lives is a guarantee from God – a down payment – that shows us that He’s serious about us, and that we belong to Him forever!

All of these are some of the many results that we receive as God’s free gifts to us – just because we are in Christ.

Remember these truths to help you to live with more joy and hope throughout every day, and in anything you may go through.”
