Answers
Answer:
These quotations come from Colin Urquhart’s book, In Christ Jesus, which sets out to show us how we can be free from such ‘defeat’. When I first read this book, I had never before realised how significant that little word ‘in’ is in the New Testament. Understanding that, as Christians, we are ‘in’ Christ Jesus revolutionises how we see ourselves, and our identity.
Write your name on a piece of paper. Take hold of your Bible to represent Christ. Place the paper in the book and close it. You are in Christ. Where the book goes you go. Where the paper goes he goes. You are not part of the book, but you are now identified totally with the book.
Paul uses this expression, ‘in Christ Jesus’, over and over again. God has taken hold of you and placed you in Christ. In Christ, you have received ‘every spiritual blessing’ (Ephesians 1:3). All of the blessings, including those that the Old Testament speaks about, are yours in Christ.
