WHAT IT MEANS TO BE “IN CHRIST”
“..for in Christ Jesus I begat you through the gospel” (1 Corinthians 4:15).
Paul mentions repeatedly the phrase “in Christ” in connection with some phase of our relationship with God. He says we are baptized into Christ (Gal. 3:27; Rom. 6:3); that the Spirit of Christ dwells in us (Rom. 8:9) and that we are made nigh (accepted with) by the blood of Christ (Eph. 2:13). But, what are the advantages of being “in Christ”? The following are only three:
1. We are children of God. Gal. 3:26 states we are children of God in Christ Jesus, through faith. We cannot be God’s children outside of Christ, and Paul says we are baptized into Christ.
2. All spiritual blessings are in Christ. Ephesians 1:3 so states. All men enjoy God’s physical blessings: rain, sunshine, crops, etc., but spiritual blessings: salvation, prayer providence, etc., are in Christ.
3. We are new creatures in Christ. Second Cor. 5:17 assures us that in Christ, old things slavery to sin, condemnation, Satan’s power are all ineffective. All things are now new: new life, new values, new goals, new relationship with God.
What does it mean to be “in Christ”? It means everything!

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.
BE A BETTER PERSON
Don’t we all wish that everyone would be a better person? Do we not hope that some bad people would turn their lives around and start doing good? Do we wish our neighbor would treat us better than before‘? Do we hope that the people we meet each day would show us respect and treat us fairly? If we expect others to be nicer and fairer, should we not make the effort as well? The Golden Rule is that we should treat others the way we would want them to treat us.
Be a better person now. Do not wait until next year and make a resolution about it. Do not put it off until next week or even tomorrow. Start right now. Look at the person closest to you and show them love. Pick up the phone and call someone who would appreciate a thoughtful consideration. Help someone who needs it, and even if they do not need help, help them anyway. Perhaps they will return the favor and help someone else. If we would just try, we could turn our society around and make it a pleasant adventure each day to interact with others. Smile. Wish someone a nice day. Be courteous. Encourage others to be good. Tell people about God and His promises. Read 1 John 3:17 and meditate upon it.
“My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth” (1 John 3:18). Don’t just talk the talk, but walk the walk. Show your love to others.
“If someone says, ‘I love God,’ and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?” (1 John 4:20).
One way to turn your life around is to change your focus. When you focus upon God you become a better person. When you focus upon helping others, you become a better person. Our goal is to get people focused upon God and become people that are better. Our community would be much better if more people were better.
