WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE IN CHRIST?

This is a question for which many answers can be heard. One person believes “in Christ” means one thing, while another believes “in Christ” means something entirely different. Where do we go to find the answer? The same place we go to find the answer to all of life’s questions. We go to the Bible.

The Bible is meant to answer questions such as these according to 2 Timothy 3:16. Often with this verse, we focus on the fact that the Bible is inspired and skip past what we do with the inspired Word of God. It is for doctrine, reproof, correction, and instruction in righteousness according to the passage mentioned above.

With this in mind, what does it mean to be in Christ? In Romans 6:3-4, we see a relationship between baptism and being in Christ. We see the same relationship in Galatians 3:27 where a person is baptized into Christ. It is also interesting, given the comparison made in 1 Peter 3:20 and 21 where Noah and those saved through water in the ark, are compared to those saved when baptized into Christ.

Where do you want to be? Where is it that your soul is secure? I believe that place to be in Christ. We are saved by the grace of God through faith according to Ephesians 2:8. Without grace we cannot be saved. Who receives God’s grace? Those who are in Christ receive his grace. After examining these verses, there is a very important question that all need to ask. Am I in Christ?

STRIVING TO DO GOD'S THINGS GOD'S WAY
AND TO WORSHIP OUR GOD - - HIS WAY;
FORSAKING OUR OWN IDEAS,
WE SEEK HIS WILL IN ALL THINGS.

THE VALUE OF HELPING OTHERS

Jesus taught us that our relationship with others was the essence of following him. Not only our relationship with others but also helping those who are in need. Look at his teachings in The Sermon on the Mount in dealing with our relationship with others.

Be merciful to others (Matt. 5:7).
Be peacemakers (Matt. 5:9).
Be reconciled with your brother (Matt. 5:23-24).
Do not do things to be seen of men (Matt. 6:1-3).
Watch your judging (Matt. 7:1-5).
Do to others as you would have them do to you (Matt. 7:12).

In the parable of The Good Samaritan in Luke 10 Jesus also gives us a great lesson on who our brother is. Bro. Harmon Black, a gospel preacher in Michigan, now deceased, penned the following:

A stranger was beaten and robbed one day
And left to die at the side of the way,
A Priest and a Levite ignored his need.
They hurried right by and left him to bleed.

He would have perished except for the fact
That a kindly soul got into the act.
The Good Samaritan showed his concern,
Doing the job…asking naught in return.

He was a “good neighbor” our Lord declared
A worthy example of one who “cared”.
So the best way to serve God here on Earth
Is to show compassion for all we’re worth.

The Apostle Paul echoed in his writings the words of our Lord when he wrote. “ And be ye kind one to another, tender – hearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you” (Eph. 4:32). Also, Paul wrote that as we have opportunity we are to do good unto all men (Gal. 6:10). - Larry Acuff via Bulletin Digest

MOMENT BY MOMENT

Never a trial that He is not there:
Never a burden that He doth not bear;
Never a sorrow that He doth not share,
Moment by moment I’m under His care.

Never a heartache, and never a groan,
Never a tear-drop, and never a moan,
Never a danger but there, on the throne,
Moment by moment, He thinks of His own.

Never a weakness that He doth not feel;
Never a sickness that He cannot heal,
Moment by moment, in woe or in weal,
Jesus, my Savior, abides with me still.
