Who are we ‘in Christ’? Christian, get ready to get encouraged! Wow!There is so much in the Bible about this that it is going to have to be in parts, praise the Lord! II was feeling down, so I went to the word.
Like David, I wanted to encourage myself in the Lord. And I thought I had problems; 1 Samuel 30:6 (KJV)
6 And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God.
So I prayed, cried some, then decided to study the Bible. My study, thus far, has been the scriptures that refer to us as Christians who are ‘in Christ’; I underlined the ‘promise’ that goes with the phrase ‘in Christ’ in each verse. Feast on God’s holy Word!
In Christ

Ephesians 2:8-10 (KJV)
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

Romans 8:38-39 (KJV)
38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

1 Corinthians 1:30-31 (KJV)

18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;

2 Corinthians 11:2-3 (KJV)
2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.
3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. {false teachers, cults, religions, etc. always make things difficult}
Galatians 2:4-5 (KJV)
4 And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:
5 To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.
Galatians 3:16-17 (KJV)
16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.
17 And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.
Galatians 3:26 (KJV)

20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,
Ephesians 2:5-6 (KJV)

6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
