Who We Are in Christ: The Two Kinds of Life

This title was originally called What We Are in Christ and is a chapter from the larger work entitled "The Two Kinds of Life", which was published in 1943.

Description: I was surprised to find that the expressions “in Christ,” “in whom,” and “in Him” occur more than 130 times in the New Testament. This is the heart of the Revelation of Redemption given to Paul.
Here is the secret of faith—faith that conquers, faith that moves mountains. Here is the secret of the Spirit’s guiding us into all reality. The heart craves intimacy with the Lord Jesus and with the Father. This craving can now be satisfied.
Ephesians 1:7: “In whom we have our redemption through his blood, the remission of our trespasses according to the riches of his grace.”
It is not a beggarly Redemption, but a real liberty in Christ that we have now. It is a Redemption by the God Who could say, “Let there be lights in the firmament of heaven,” and cause the whole starry heavens to leap into being in a single instant. It is Omnipotence beyond human reason. This is where philosophy has never left a footprint.
