1 Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.

Following Paul as he follows Christ is imperative for God’s people today who are chosen to be in Christ. Actually, this is not something left to theologians to decide. The work was finished at the Cross, salvation was completed. Every sinner saved today is automatically placed in Christ.

This means Christ is their only life to God, Gal. 2:20.To be born again is not an option. The only salvation there is today is one where Christ is the life of the believer. These are the people the Father will have in His house. They all will be birthed by him. This wonderful salvation includes Israel. It is a "whosoever believeth" gospel.

Who knows all about this gospel? Paul, God’s chosen vessel to deliver it. No wonder we are told to follow Paul as he follows Christ. Israel followed Moses under God's plan for that dispensation, today we follow Paulas He follows Christ. Ironically, following Paul or doing things like Paul did them is mentioned eight
times, in different ways, in Paul’s epistles, yet religion still doesn’t get it. Religion continues to deny believers their place in Christ. How simple it would be to read what Paul has to say about the new life in Christ.

However, if believers really want to know the truth, Paul's epistles are able to lead them into the plan of God for their lives. Time is short for believers to find out who they are in Christ.

Being in Christ is strictly for the earthly journey, and the coming of the Lord and the Rapture are growing nearer every day. How sad it would be not to know who we are in Christ when He appears.

Galations 2:20
20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

Galileans, why do you stand there looking up into the sky? Did someone tell you that you would see Him come down the same way they saw him go up? Don't you have a Bible of your own? There is only One Immortal. No one has ever gone up to heaven. He who seeks to save his life will lose it. God is against your charms, and your soft pillow landings. Rapture is the belief of spiritual women, and condemned by Scripture in many places. Luke 19:11 Lexicon: While they were listening to these things, Jesus went on to tell a parable, because He was near Jerusalem, and they supposed that the kingdom of God was going to appear immediately.

The Lord gives us examples in the faith; and Paul was a great example.
