Our Position in Christ: Understanding Our Identity and Inheritance
Have you ever felt lost, unsure of your purpose, or battling feelings of inadequacy? Many believers, even those who have walked with Christ for years, struggle to fully grasp their true identity and inheritance in Him. This comprehensive guide delves into the profound truth of our position in Christ, exploring the implications of this transformative reality for our daily lives. We'll unpack the biblical foundation, explore practical applications, and help you confidently embrace your rightful standing as a child of God.
H2: The Foundation: What Does Scripture Say About Our Position in Christ?
The Bible consistently reveals our incredible standing in Christ. It's not something we earn; it's a gift freely given through faith in Jesus' sacrifice. Key scriptures paint a powerful picture:
2 Corinthians 5:17: "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!" This verse emphasizes a radical transformation – a complete shift from our old self to a new identity in Christ. Our past is forgiven, and a new future begins.
Ephesians 1:3: "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ." This verse highlights the abundance of spiritual blessings already ours – not something we need to strive for, but a present reality.
Galatians 3:26: "So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith." This verse reveals our true identity – children of God, heirs to His kingdom. This isn't a conditional status; it's an inherent part of our new life in Christ.
Ephesians 2:6: "And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus," This verse reveals our exalted position – seated with Christ in heavenly places. This is not merely a future hope, but a present reality, impacting our perspective and authority.
H2: Understanding the Implications of Our Position in Christ
Understanding our position in Christ is more than just head knowledge; it profoundly impacts our lives:
Identity: We are no longer defined by our past mistakes, failures, or societal labels. Our identity is firmly rooted in Christ, who is perfect and without blemish. We are children of God, loved unconditionally.
Authority: As seated with Christ in heavenly places, we have spiritual authority over the works of darkness. We are empowered to overcome sin, fear, and doubt through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Freedom: Our past sins are forgiven, and we are free from the bondage of guilt and shame. This freedom allows us to live authentically and pursue God's purposes for our lives.
Confidence: Knowing our identity and position in Christ instills confidence and courage to face any challenge. We walk in assurance of God's love, grace, and provision.
H2: Practical Application: Living Out Our Position
How do we practically live out our position in Christ? It's not passive; it requires intentional choices:
Prayer: Regularly communicating with God, acknowledging our identity in Christ, and seeking His guidance.
Scripture: Dwelling on the scriptures that reveal our position, meditating on their truth and allowing them to shape our thinking.
Fellowship: Surrounding ourselves with other believers who encourage and strengthen us in our faith.
Obedience: Living in accordance with God's will, allowing the Holy Spirit to lead and guide our actions.
Forgiveness: Extending forgiveness to others as we have been forgiven by God.
H2: Overcoming Obstacles to Understanding Our Position
Sometimes, beliefs and experiences can hinder our understanding of our position in Christ. We may struggle with:
Doubt: questioning God's love and acceptance.
Shame: feeling unworthy or undeserving of God's grace.
Fear: allowing anxiety to overshadow the assurance of God's presence.
It is crucial to address these struggles through prayer, seeking counsel from trusted mentors or pastors, and reminding ourselves of the unchanging truths of scripture.
Conclusion
Our position in Christ is a cornerstone of our faith. Understanding and embracing this reality is transformative, impacting every aspect of our lives. As we consistently meditate on our identity in Christ, His love, grace, and provision become not just theoretical concepts, but powerful forces shaping our thoughts, actions, and destinies. Let's strive to live each day consciously aware of our rightful place as beloved children of God, seated with Christ in heavenly places, and empowered to live victorious lives.

| our position in christ: Who Do You Think You Are? Mark Driscoll, 2013-01-07 WHO ARE YOU? WHAT DEFINES YOU? WHAT IS YOUR IDENTITY? How you answer those questions affects every aspect of your life: personal, public, and spiritual. So it’s vital to get the answer right. Pastor and best-selling author Mark Driscoll believes false identity is at the heart of many struggles—and that you can overcome them by having your true identity in Christ. In Who Do You Think You Are?, Driscoll explores the question, “What does it mean to be ‘in Christ’?” In the process he dissects the false-identity epidemic and, more important, provides the only solution—Jesus. “This book will give you an unshakeable, biblical understanding of who you are in Christ. When you know who you are, you’ll know what to do.” —Craig Groeschel, Senior Pastor of LifeChurch.tv and author of Soul Detox, Clean Living in a Contaminated World “I spent years in ministry for Christ without understanding my identity in Christ. I know now that I was not alone. When, by the grace of God, we understand who we are in Christ, everything else can crumble and we will still be standing. I highly commend this book to you.” —Sheila Walsh, speaker and author of God Loves Broken People |

God has His Own Desire, His Own Goal: He will Not Be Satisfied Until Every Trace of Rebellion is Eliminated from the Universe and all Things Are Headed Up in Christ. The Role of the Church is Crucial in the Accomplishment of God's Eternal Plan. Today, Like Never Before, the Church is in the Midst of a Universal Strugle Between God and His Enemy, Satan. This Struggle Began with the Rebellion of Satan, Persisted with Satan's Corruption of Man, and Continues to this Day As the Church Endeavors to Experience and Apply the Effectiveness of Christ's Death on the Cross. The Responsibility for Satan's Defeat Now Rests with the Church, as it Daily Must Seek Through Revelation and Prayer to Advance God's Interest on the Earth and to Shun Every Vestige of Satanic Influence. |

| our position in christ: True Spirituality Chip Ingram, 2013-08-13 A launching pad for your spiritual journey, this inspiring book provides clear, specific, and practical guidelines for becoming a Christian who lives like Christ. Christians today live in a world that is activity heavy and relationship light. The result is spiritual emptiness. We struggle to know what God wants from us and for us . . . and we’re unsure what a real relationship with God really looks like. But that was never God’s idea. HIS idea of faith is not about rules or religion— it’s about relationship. That’s where God tells us to start. In Romans 12, God gives us a clear picture of what Christians should look like at the root level. If you’re ready to move from “in” to “all in,” then you’re ready to become a Romans 12 Christian. The next steps of your journey toward true spirituality start here. |
| our position in christ: Discipleship Defined Eric Russ, 2010-11 DON'T read this book if you want to remain comfortable! Eric challenges us to consider what Biblical discipleship looks like based on what Jesus did. Eric writes this book with the integrity of a man who is not merely theorizing about the way things ought to be, rather he is describing what is actually happening as he builds Biblical disciples in the context of the inner city. This book is soundly Biblical, challenging and practical. This book is about building disciples not programs. Roger Hershey, Campus Crusade For Christ It is a joy to highly commend to all Discipleship Defined, for it is exactly the prescription that is needed for the Church to regain much of our lost effectiveness. Discipleship Defined has carefully described, yet without programming it into a rigid system, how to go about this challenging task. Walter C. Kaiser, Jr., President Emeritus Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary Eric Russ gives us some very straight forward thinking about discipleship, a topic widely misunderstood and undervalued. Moving away from piety-driven discipleship, Russ points us toward a holistic, Christ-centered way of following Jesus. Jonathan Dodson, Lead Pastor Austin City Life, Austin, TX. Eric has a healthy obsession about strong discipleship, and it shows in a gracious way in this guidebook for muscular commitment. Can you be obsessed and still have a gracious spirit? Eric does, and so does this book! Knute Larson, Senior Pastor The Chapel, Akron, OH (1983-2009) Eric Russ is lead pastor of Mack Avenue Community Church in Detroit, Michigan.

| our position in christ: Seeing and Savoring Jesus Christ (Revised Edition) John Piper, 2004-10-27 Who is Jesus Christ? You've never met him in person, and you don't know anyone who has. But there is a way to know who he is. How? Jesus Christ-the divine Person revealed in the Bible-has a unique excellence and a spiritual beauty that speaks directly to our souls and says, Yes, this is truth. It's like seeing the sun and knowing that it is light, or tasting honey and knowing that it is sweet. The depth and complexity of Jesus shatter our simple mental frameworks. He baffled proud scribes with his wisdom but was understood and loved by children. He calmed a raging storm with a word but would not get himself down from the cross. Look at the Jesus of the Bible. Keep your eyes open, and fill them with the portrait of Jesus in God's Word. Jesus said, If anyone's will is to do God's will, he will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my own authority. Ask God for the grace to do his will, and you will see the truth of his Son. John Piper has written this book in the hope that all will see Jesus for who he really is and will come to enjoy him above all else. |

| our position in christ: Seated with Christ Heather Holleman, 2015-09-22 As Christians find themselves trapped in the rhetoric of platform, influence, retweets, and fame, they need a ladder out of the fray. Many of us live in a prison of self-absorption. Shackled with pride and despair, we compare ourselves to others constantly in our frantic, unending pursuit of perfection. Seated with Christ gets to the root of this behavior and charts a path to freedom. Scripture says that God’s beloved are seated with Christ in the heavens (Eph. 2:6), treasured by Him and given a place at His table. Heather Holleman unveils what this means for us. It means we walk out on the fight for acceptance. We quit measuring ourselves to others.We leap free from cycles of shame. Securely-seated people can ask themselves hard questions about their lives; they can deal with sin, grieve their losses, and move forward in hope. From a position of security and self-forgetfulness they can joyfully do the good works prepared for them uniquely. They can even celebrate the successes of others. Seated with Christ is a deeply personal, liberating look at a glorious truth: that we have a place at God's eternal table. |

Christianity could be defined as a “cold case”: it makes a claim about an event from the distant past for which there is little forensic evidence. In Cold-Case Christianity, J. Warner Wallace uses his nationally recognized skills as a homicide detective to look at the evidence and eyewitnesses behind Christian beliefs. Including gripping stories from his career and the visual techniques he developed in the courtroom, Wallace uses illustration to examine the powerful evidence that validates the claims of Christianity. A unique apologetic that speaks to readers’ intense interest in detective stories, Cold-Case Christianity inspires readers to have confidence in Christ as it prepares them to articulate the case for Christianity. |

| our position in christ: Openness Unhindered Rosaria Champagne Butterfield, 2015-06-01 Terms like same-sex marriage, sexual orientation, gender identity, and gay Christian are part of daily discourse; yet enormous controversy surrounds them. They are the stuff of news headlines and vitriolic social media posts. But they also reflect stirrings of the heart in real people with real questions and concerns. Rosaria Champagne Butterfield, once a leftist professor in a committed lesbian relationship and now a confessional Christian, but always the thoughtful and compassionate professor, has written a followup to The Secret Thoughts of an Unlikely Convert. This book answers many of the questions people pose when she speaks at universities and churches, questions not only about her unlikely conversion to Christ but about personal struggles that the questioners only dare to ask someone else who has traveled a long and painful journey. Dr. Butterfield not only goes to great lengths to clarify some of today's key controversies, she also traces their history and defines the terms that have become second nature today-even going back to God's original design for marriage and sexuality as found in the Bible. She cuts to the heart of the problems and points the way to the solution, which includes a challenge to the church to be all that God intended it to be, and for each person to find the true freedom that is found in Christ. -- |

| our position in christ: Every Good Endeavour Timothy Keller, 2014-07-17 In today's increasingly competitive and insecure economic environment, we often question the reason for work: why am I doing this? Why is it so hard? And what can I do about it? Work may seem just a means to an end: we do it to earn the money to enjoy life outside the workplace. Here, Timothy Keller argues that God's plan is radically more ambitious: he actually created us to work. We are to work together to make the world a better place, to help each other, and so to find purpose for our lives. Our faith should enhance our work, and our work should develop our faith.With deep insight, Timothy Keller draws on essential and relevant biblical wisdom to address our questions about work. There is grace available if we have taken the wrong attitude, idolising money and using our careers to glorify ourselves rather than God. This book provides the foundations for a work-life balance where we can thrive both personally and professionally. Keller shows how through excellence, integrity, discipline, creativity and passion in the workplace we can impact society for good.Developing a better attitude to work releases us to serve others humbly, to worship God everyday, and leaves us deeply fulfilled. |
