      Why Do Many People STRUGGLE With A LACK OF FAITH?

      Feb 11, 2022

      The apostle Paul exhorts Christians to “walk by faith and not by sight” – 2 Corinthians 5:7. What we see here is a contrast between truth and perception—what we know and believe to be true and what we perceive to be true. This is where the Christian

    What We Are in Christ - E. W. Kenyon

    God."

    Chapter One

    IN CHRIST

    The expression, In Christ, is one of the key expressions in the Epistles.

    Few have understood all that the Spirit meant when this expression was used by Paul.

    You see there are two expressions used: In Christ, and Christ in us.

    In Christ is our legal standing.

    It is what He has done for us in Redemption; what He has done for us in the Courthouse of Heaven.

    When we speak of our being In Christ, that place began historically on the Cross.

    Jesus was never a Substitute until He hung there.

    He identified Himself with us when He took a physical body.

    We did not become identified with Him until He hung on the Cross and God laid our sin upon Him.

    So the expression In Christ, is the legal side of our Redemption.

    We were in Him in the mind of Justice when He was nailed to the Cross.

    We were in Him when sin was laid upon Him. It was our sin.

    We were in Him when He went down into the place of suffering.

    We were in Him during those awful hours when He was separated from God and under condemnation, and when the judgment for our sins fell heavily upon Him.

    We were in Him when He paid the price and God legally justified Him, made Him righteous, and, as the Spirit tells us in 1 Peter 3:18 made Him alive in spirit.

    We were in Him when He conquered the dark host of Hell.

    We were in Him when He put His heel upon the neck of Satan and took from him the keys of Death and Hades.

    We were in Him when He rose triumphantly over all the host of the Enemy.

    We were in Him when He ascended from Olivet with His own blood into the Holy of Holies and there poured that blood on the Mercy Seat before the Throne of God.

    We were in Him when He sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on High.

    We were in Him until His work was finished.

    We were in Him until He was seated in the highest place in the Universe.

    We are in Him today, for Paul tells us in Ephesians 2:6 that God raised us up with Him and made us to sit with Him in the heavenly places.

    We are in Him in this sense.

    This is the legal side.

    This is the courthouse side of the Plan of Redemption.

    When the Father looks upon us, He invariably looks upon us as in Christ legally equal with our Substitute.

    Whatever He attempts to do in us experientially, is on legal grounds.

    This legal position in Christ guarantees an experiential fellowship with the Lord that will enable us to enter into any spiritual fellowship this side of Heaven that will glorify the Father.

    Our position is limitless.

    All that He is to us legally, He can be experientially.

    When I speak about being in Christ, I mean that we are in all fullness, all might, grace, authority, and dominion that Christ is in Himself.

    When you speak about being in Christ, that is as Christ.

    It is identification in the holiest, highest spiritual sense.

    It is a oneness with Him that absolutely beggars any oral description.

    These two wonderful words, in Christ, cover it. You see, that we are in Christ, and that means from Heaven’s point of view that Satan cannot reach us, nor touch us; that his power is absolutely destroyed as far as we are concerned.

    When Satan does touch us, it must surprise all Heaven to think that such a thing as that could take place.

    Satan must look upon it as a satanic miracle that he can break through the defenses of God and put diseases and sickness upon us and bring us under condemnation.

    You see there are two kinds of miracles; the miracles of God wrought by faith,
