    About this ebook

    Many in the Church today struggle with a sense of unworthiness and inadequacy. They are aware of all their weaknesses and shortcomings. They have very little confidence toward God because they think He regards them in the light of their failures, or, perhaps we should, the darkness that yet remains in their performance.
    God has changed the nature of man! The greatest miracle that God does is the New Birth. God, our Father, takes out of us the nature that was antagonistic to Him by sending it to the cross with Jesus, then makes alive together with Him in His resurrection. “Old things have passed away, behold, all things have become new. And all things are of God” (2 Cor. 5:17, 18).

      I want to dedicate this book to the woman who makes my life a joy: my lovely wife, Pam. I can’t imagine life without her. Her sense of humor never fails to surprise me and delight me. Her support in my difficulties makes me wonder how I would survive without her. She is truly a blessing from the Lord. I love you.

      Acknowledgements

      I want to thank my supportive church, Word of His Grace Church and Ministry Center, for believing in me and my call to write. Many others have been a great encouragement as well. My assistant, Linda Boone, has really made things happen and is a great blessing. I am very grateful for Jeff Boettcher’s great cover for the book. To all the others who have encouraged my ministry over the years, I say, Thanks.

      Endorsements For

      WHO WE ARE IN CHRIST

      I love this book!!! Joe McIntyre’s book Who We Are in Christ is a much needed, long overdue look at what happens to a person when they are really born again. Ignorance is killing us in this area; and weak faith has become the norm. This teaching will bring us back to a true foundation where great faith can be built. I highly recommend this book!

      You do not live for Christ; you live from Christ. Joe McIntyre has done a masterful job helping believers realize the power of their identity in Christ. The Father God wants His children to look at what is theirs through Christ’s atoning work. There has been an identity theft in the body of Christ that this book exposes and helps to restore! To His children, God never gives less than Himself.

      Leif Hetland

      Joe McIntyre writes with significant power and depth. Don’t let the brevity of this book fool you. It is full of life-changing truths. The diligent reader will find the reality and high calling of our life in Christ described in fresh detail. The simple style is not designed to dumb down the message but to communicate that our Kingdom inheritance is available to all! You cannot give this a serious read without being challenged to step into the richness of our life in Jesus more deeply.

      The Rev’d. Dr. John Roddam

      Rector of St. Luke’s

      Seattle, WA

      In a way that is both scholarly and practical, Joe McIntyre deals with the two natures dilemma that plagues believers with so much inner conflict. Joe clearly brings out the truth of our God-given singular new nature in Christ. We are then thereby enabled to function in focused faith and communion with Him who has endowed us with newness and victory. We are thus able to displace and dispel old mindsets within us with which the deceiver has tried to define us.

      Foreword

      Joe McIntyre’s new book, Who We Are in Christ, is a helpful book for our troubled times. He helps us to refocus upon the truth of the word of God concerning our position in Christ. He helps us go back to the future of where God wants to take His Church by drawing insights from some of the great evangelical leaders of the late 1800's. Men like A.J. Gordon, pastor of Claarendon St. Baptist Church of Boston and founder of Gordon college, later Gordon-Conwell seminary, and author of the classic In Christ; men like George Peck, author of Enthroned Life or the Highest Christian Life, and A. T. Pierson, author of Shall We Continue To Sin? Joe just doesn’t bring us the choice insights of some of the best anointed teachers of the late 1800's but also from the best of the 1900's like E. Stanley Jones' In Christ, as well as some of today’s most anointed teachers and writers like Bill Johnson. I thank God for Joe’s efforts to bring the wisdom of the great teachers both now and in the past to my fingertips. He focuses the Christian on what the word of God says he/she is rather than what he/she may feel he/she is.

      This small book doesn’t have a small message. Do not be fooled by the size of the book, Joe has packed it with insight from God’s word. I found the book insightful, helpful, encouraging, inspiring, informative, and uplifting. I really appreciated the Appendix 3 Confess Who You Are, where Joe has done the work of putting together all the verses of the Bible dealing with the subject of who we are in Christ.

      I have had Joe teach often as one of the adjunct teachers at my Schools of Healing and Impartation, often along with Bill Johnson or Leif Hetland. Though we have spent most of our lives in different streams or movements, I have found Joe’s teaching to be inspiring, delivered in a spirit of humility and grace. There have been times when the atmosphere seemed to become pregnant with the glory of realizing just how loved we are in Christ. He doesn’t write as an armchair theologian, but as one who lives the truths he communicates and experiences the hope and faith that comes from understanding the truth of what God has accomplished on our behalf and who He has made us in Christ.

      I encourage you to treat yourself to a faith-lift by studying Who We Are in Christ. You will be surprised how many insights you will gain in a short read.

      First Words

      When I was first beginning my teaching ministry, I was invited to share in a mid-week Bible study that was part of a church plant I was working with. After ministering what I thought was very clear teaching on faith, I was talking with one of the women who had attended the study. She seemed to have trouble understanding what I had taught. I responded, "Faith is the substance of things hoped for. I was trying to clear up her obvious confusion about what I had taught. But what does that mean?" she shot back.

      It was clear that things that were clear to me (and a tremendous blessing to me) were not as clear to others who heard the same truths. I was quite troubled about this and took it to the Lord. In prayer I asked the Lord why many didn’t seem to be able to grasp many aspects of the Faith life. His answer was quite clear: They don’t know that I love them, the Lord replied. So I said, Should I teach about Your love? No, the Lord replied, Teach them who they are in Christ, and they’ll know I love them.
