What does it mean to you to be "in Christ"? What are the implication of this for your life?
To be in Christ is to be like him. We must remember that HE wants an intimate relationship with him (Ps. 63:3). He wants us to just talk to him about everything that comes upon us--HE want us to "BE" with him day in and day out. Because he made us in HIS image, we have all within us to have that close intimate relationship with HIM.
The implication are awesome when you think about it. If we learn to trust and lean on HIM for everything HE will always supply our needs. And just when we think things are getting better, something happens, and HE teaches us to lean on HIM more. I Cor. 13:4 also allows me to think about being "in HIM". Love is patient, love is kind, etc. This is the God I believe in.....but I also understand that HE will chastise me "in love" when I am not doing HIS will.
