In
Christ 1/22/2009
ßà
It is not commonly known that the Bible
portrays the elect of God as having been “in Christ” from before the
foundation of the world (Eph 1:4). And since before the foundation of
this universe there was only God the Father, and God the Son, and God the Holy
Spirit, it must mean that the elect were “in God the Son” in the same
way that all humanity was in the loins of Adam at the beginning of time. It is
the representative principle all over again. Look at all the Scriptures that
are stating this fact, which clearly show that anyone who will still deny this
is a fool who does not believe the Word of God.
Ro 3:24 Being
justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ
Jesus:
Ro 8:1 There
is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ
Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Ro 8:2 For the
law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from
the law of sin and death.
Ro 8:39 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.
Ro 9:1 I say
the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me
witness in the Holy Ghost,
Ro 12:5 So we, being
many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of
another.
Ro 16:3 Greet
Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus:
Ro 16:7 Salute
Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen, and my fellow prisoners, who are of note
among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me.
Ro 16:9 Salute
Urbane, our helper in Christ, and Stachys my beloved.
Ro 16:10 Salute
Apelles approved in Christ. Salute them which are of Aristobulus’
household.
1Co 1:2 Unto
the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ
Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the
name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:
1Co 1:30 But of
him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom,
and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
1Co 3:1 And I,
brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even
as unto babes in Christ.
1Co 4:10 We are
fools for Christ’s sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are
weak, but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are
despised.
1Co 4:15 For
though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye
not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through
the gospel.
1Co 4:17 For
this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus, who is my beloved son, and faithful
in the Lord, who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in
Christ, as I teach every where in every church.
1Co 15:18 Then
they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.
1Co 15:19 If in
this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most
miserable.
1Co 15:22 For
as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
1Co 15:31 I
protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord,
I die daily.
1Co 16:24 My
love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen. <<The
first epistle to the Corinthians was written from Philippi by Stephanas and
Fortunatus and Achaicus and Timotheus.>>
2Co 1:21 Now he
which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is
God;
2Co 2:14 Now
thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ,
and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.
2Co 2:17 For we
are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of
God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.
2Co 3:14 But
their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken
away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in
Christ.
2Co 5:17
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a
new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
2Co 5:19 To
wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself,
not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of
reconciliation.
2Co 5:20 Now
then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us:
we pray you in Christ‘s stead, be ye reconciled to God.
2Co 11:3 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.
2Co 12:2 I knew
a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I
cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an
one caught up to the third heaven.
2Co 12:19
Again, think ye that we excuse ourselves unto you? we speak before God in
Christ: but we do all things, dearly beloved, for your edifying.
Ga 1:22 And was
unknown by face unto the churches of Judaea which were in Christ:
Ga 2:4 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:
Ga 3:17 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.
Ga 3:26 For ye
are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
Ga 3:28 There
is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male
nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
Ga 6:15 For in
Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor
uncircumcision, but a new creature.
Eph 1:1 Paul,
an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at
Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:
Eph 1:3 Blessed
be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with
all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
Eph 1:10 That
in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all
things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on
earth; even in him:
Eph 1:12 That
we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
Eph 1:20 Which
he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him
at his own right hand in the heavenly places,
Eph 2:6 And
hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places
in Christ Jesus:
Eph 2:10 For we
are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works,
which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
Eph 2:13 But
now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh
by the blood of Christ.
Eph 3:6 That
the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his
promise in Christ by the gospel:
Eph 3:11
According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ
Jesus our Lord:
Php 1:1 Paul
and Timotheus, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ
Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:
Php 1:13 So
that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and in
all other places;
Php 2:1 If there
be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of
love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,
Php 2:5 Let
this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
Php 3:3 For we
are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ
Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.
Php 3:14 I
press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ
Jesus.
Php 4:21 Salute
every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren which are with me greet
you.
Col 1:2 To the
saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse:
Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus
Christ.
Col 1:4 Since
we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which
ye have to all the saints,
Col 1:28 Whom
we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may
present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:
Col 2:5 For
though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and
beholding your order, and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ.
1Th 2:14 For
ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in
Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like things of your own
countrymen, even as they have of the Jews:
1Th 4:16 For
the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the
archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall
rise first:
1Th 5:18 In
every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ
Jesus concerning you.
1Ti 1:14 And
the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in
Christ Jesus.
1Ti 2:7
Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in
Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and
verity.
1Ti 3:13 For
they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good
degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
2Ti 1:1 Paul,
an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life
which is in Christ Jesus,
2Ti 1:9 Who
hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our
works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in
Christ Jesus before the world began,
2Ti 1:13 Hold
fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love
which is in Christ Jesus.
2Ti 2:1 Thou
therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ
Jesus.
2Ti 2:10
Therefore I endure all things for the elect’s sakes, that they may also
obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
2Ti 3:12 Yea,
and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer
persecution.
2Ti 3:15 And
that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make
thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
Phm 1:6 That
the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of
every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.
Phm 1:8
Wherefore, though I might be much bold in Christ to enjoin
thee that which is convenient,
Phm 1:23 There
salute thee Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus;
1Pe 3:16 Having
a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they
may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.
1Pe 5:14 Greet
ye one another with a kiss of charity. Peace be with you all that are in
Christ Jesus. Amen.
Many verses
that speak of our presence “in Christ” are also reflected by those that
speak of “in Him”.
In Him
Mt 13:57 And
they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is
not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.
Mt 14:2 And
said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead;
and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.
Mr 6:14 And
king Herod heard of him; (for his name was spread abroad:) and he said,
That John the Baptist was risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works do
shew forth themselves in him.

said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I have found no

Joh 8:44 Ye are
of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He

for he is a liar, and the father of it.
Joh 9:3 Jesus
answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of
God should be made manifest in him.

and shall straightway glorify him.

the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him,

out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no
fault at all.

therefore went forth again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to
you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him.
Joh 19:6 When
the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying,
Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him,
and crucify him: for I find no fault in him.
Ac 10:43 To him
give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in
him shall receive remission of sins.

they Pilate that he should be slain.
Ac 17:16 Now
while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred in him,
when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry.

him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own
poets have said, For we are also his offspring.

yourselves; for his life is in him.

them therefore, said he, which among you are able, go down with me, and
accuse this man, if there be any wickedness in him.
Ro 10:14 How
then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they
believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they
hear without a preacher?
Ro 15:12 And
again, Esaias saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to
reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust.
1Co 2:11 For
what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in
him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
1Co 8:6 But to
us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and
we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all
things, and we by him.
2Co 1:19 For
the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by
me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, but in him
was yea.
2Co 1:20 For
all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him
Amen, unto the glory of God by us.
2Co 5:21 For he
hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made
the righteousness of God in him.

For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the
power of God toward you.

According as he hath chosen us in him before the
foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in
love:
Eph 1:10 That
in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all
things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even
in him:
Php 3:9 And be
found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the
law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is
of God by faith:
Col 1:19 For it
pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;
Col 2:6 As ye
have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:
Col 2:7 Rooted
and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been
taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
Col 2:9 For in
him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
Col 2:10 And ye
are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and
power:
2Th 1:12 That
the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him,
according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Heb 2:13 And
again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the
children which God hath given me.
Heb 10:38 Now
the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall
have no pleasure in him.
1Jo 1:5 This
then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God
is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
1Jo 2:4 He that
saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth
is not in him.
1Jo 2:5 But
whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God
perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
1Jo 2:6 He that
saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he
walked.
1Jo 2:8 Again,
a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him
and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.
1Jo 2:10 He
that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of
stumbling in him.
1Jo 2:15 Love
not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love
the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
1Jo 2:27 But
the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not
that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things,
and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in
him.
1Jo 2:28 And
now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear,
we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
1Jo 3:3 And
every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as
he is pure.
1Jo 3:5 And ye
know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is
no sin.
1Jo 3:6
Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth
hath not seen him, neither known him.
1Jo 3:9
Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in
him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
1Jo 3:15 Whosoever
hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal
life abiding in him.
1Jo 3:17 But
whoso hath this world’s good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up
his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in
him?
1Jo 3:24 And he
that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him.
And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.
1Jo 4:13 Hereby
know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given
us of his Spirit.
1Jo 4:15
Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in
him, and he in God.
1Jo 4:16 And we
have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that
dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
1Jo 5:14 And
this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any
thing according to his will, he heareth us:
1Jo 5:20 And we
know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we
may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even
in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
The Bible writes that
if we are “in Christ” then we shall also be “with Christ” in His
atonement.
With
Christ
Ro 6:8 Now if
we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with
him:
Ro 8:17 And if
children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint–heirs with Christ;
if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified
together.
Ga 2:20 I am
crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ
liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of
the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
Eph 2:5 Even
when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ,
(by grace ye are saved;)
Php 1:23 For I
am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ;
which is far better:
Col 2:20
Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of
the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances,
Col 3:1 If ye
then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above,
where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
Col 3:3 For ye
are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
Re 20:4 And I
saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I
saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for
the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image,
neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands;
and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
The atonement
was accomplished “by Jesus Christ”, but only “through the cross
of Christ”.
By Jesus Christ
Joh 1:17 For
the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus
Christ.
Ac 10:36 The
word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by
Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:)
Ro 2:16 In the
day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ
according to my gospel.
Ro 5:21 That as
sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness
unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
1Co 1:4 I thank
my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by
(in) Jesus Christ;
2Co 5:18 And
all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus
Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
Ga 1:1 Paul, an
apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ,
and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;)
Eph 1:5 Having
predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ
to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
Eph 3:9 And to
make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which
from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by
Jesus Christ:
Php 1:11 Being
filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ,
unto the glory and praise of God.
1Pe 2:5 Ye
also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to
offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
All these expressions “by
Jesus Christ” are in the Greek actually “through Jesus Christ”, except
in 1Cor 1:4, which means that all these prophecies were fulfilled at the cross,
for there is where the action is “through Jesus Christ”.
In Jesus Christ
Ga 2:16 Knowing
that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus
Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we
might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for
by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
Ga 5:6 For in
Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor
uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.
Php 1:26 That
your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me
by my coming to you again.
Jude 1:1 Jude,
the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified
by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and
called:
To be chosen and placed “in
Jesus Christ” means that God predestinated us to be conformed to the
image of His Son Jesus Christ. Why are there so many people who deny
predestination? Look at all the evidence listed in this study. Only if you are
spiritually blind can you not see the evidence.
Predestinate
Ro 8:29 For
whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to
the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
Ro 8:30
Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom
he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also
glorified.
Eph 1:5 Having predestinated
us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the
good pleasure of his will,
Eph 1:11 In
whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according
to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
To predestinate a person
means to determine his destiny beforehand. And when does God’s decision to predestinate a person take
place? Since our God does not change it must have taken place before the
foundation of the world, when God chose us in Christ (Eph 1:4).
Therefore the word “chosen” reflects the act of God of having chosen and
predestinated us to eternal life in Christ.
Chosen
Mt 12:18 Behold
my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well
pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the
Gentiles.
Mt 20:16 So the
last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.
Mt 22:14 For
many are called, but few are chosen.
Mr 13:20 And
except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but
for the elect’s sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.
Lu 10:42 But
one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall
not be taken away from her.
Lu 23:35 And
the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided him,
saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the chosen
of God.
Joh 6:70 Jesus
answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?
Joh 13:18 I
speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture
may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against
me.
Joh 15:16 Ye
have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that
ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain:
that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
Joh 15:19 If ye
were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the
world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world
hateth you.
Ac 1:2 Until
the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had
given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen:
Ac 1:24 And
they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, which knowest the hearts of all men,
shew whether of these two thou hast chosen,
Ac 9:15 But the
