ALL The born again are "in Christ'".

If you are only water baptized and religious, then you are not yet born again.
If you have no idea what i mean, then you are probably not born again.

Being BORN AGAIN = This mean's they, we, us, are literally and eternally joined to God and Christ, "Spiritually".

Jesus said..>"You MUST be Born again", and that is not by water, "but by my Spirit, sayeth The Lord".

All the Born Again.... have become eternally joined to Christ, literally, by becoming born again Spiritually.
So, being "In Christ' we become joined to what He IS......
And what is Jesus?

He is Holiness,
Righteousness,
and Truth.
He is Eternal Life,
Redemption,
The Resurrection,
and The Glorified King of Heaven and Earth.

By being JOINED to Christ, as BORN AGAIN......we are now "Heirs of God" and "joint Heirs with Jesus".

What does that mean?
It means that we are become joined, connected, "one with ", all that they are and all that they have.

This is literally what it means to become a : eternally born again, "SON/Daughter" of God.

The RENEWED MIND, that Paul says you must learn and maintain, is the REVELATION Knowledge ....of who you have become for ETERNITY, as "a NEW CREATION....In CHRIST".

So, all that i just showed you on that List......... is this verse......


= As Jesus IS......so are the born again, in this world"...



And what and who is Jesus?

He is Holiness,
Righteousness,
and Truth.
He is Eternal Life,
Redemption,
The Resurrection,
and The Glorified King of Heaven and Earth.

Jesus The CHRIST...... is all that and more and the born again are "In Christ".

Are we called to be judges or ambassadors?
Are we called to threaten or give hope?
Are we called to tell people what their reality is or present a better one?
Are we called to be fishers of men using dynamite or by wooing them?
Are we called to be right or long suffering?
