What It Means To Be In Christ


Listen Later

Questions? Fun God stories? Let us know!

We go deep on a phrase that shows up again and again in the New Testament but often gets flattened in modern Christian language: being in Christ. We read 2 Corinthians 5:17 and talk about union with Christ, new creation identity, and why so many of us drift into a transactional mindset where “good day” equals close to God and “bad day” equals distant from God. We also connect it to Jesus’ invitation to abide, the reality of the Trinity, and what it means that our life is “hidden with Christ in God” (Colossians 3:3).

We explore a core spiritual formation truth that can feel almost too good to be true: God doesn’t save us by cleaning us up so He can finally enjoy us. He saves us by drawing us into His delight through Jesus, the second Adam, and the Spirit poured out. We end by naming the real obstacle for many of us: unbelief, and we pray a simple prayer of surrender so we can actually receive what God says is already ours.

If this helps you, subscribe, share it with someone you love, and leave a review so more people can find these conversations. What part of being “in Christ” feels hardest for you to believe right now?
