But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: - 1 Corinthians 1:30.
You can see where God has made Jesus Christ these things to believers, it does not matter if they believe them or not. There are some things that are not contingent on you believing them and this is one of those "and God made unto us." Believers can be a strange breed, they will receive Jesus Christ as their savior and then feel like they must get it all right by such things as; I must believe right, I must do certain things to make it work. The snare for those that lean on a self effort gospel is they can feel good about doing something but the time comes when it does not work and you have done all you know to do and it still isn't working out.
It's like reinventing the wheel, there is nothing wrong with the wheel but I'm going to make it work better somehow when it already rolls perfectly because it is already perfectly round. So we feel like we can help out somehow by getting it all fixed right but what happens is a prolonged period of the schoolhouse (circumstances and situations-governors and tudor's), Gal. 4:1-2, as we come to understand God's provision. The all elusive rest in what God has done by making Christ all of these things should be the primary reason for a believers growth. I have seen believers so wore out they could not put another foot in front of the other. So to the believer even if they don't know anything about these things or even believe it it doesn't matter they are complete (made) in Christ. That is good news for the on-going saints because you have come to understand when Jesus Christ hung on the cross and his final words were "it is finished." Everything that would be in God's plan has to do with Christ being made these things to the believer. To the father as well, he would never again have to depend on man for getting what he wanted from before the foundations of the world, Ephesians 1:4. As a matter of fact man could not give him what he wanted, if man could give the father what he wanted there would be no New Testament, wouldn't be necessary. So don't be mislead into thinking that now some how now you are going to give the father what has always been in him.
By Christ he simply births his perfect plan which is to have children like unto his only begotten Son. The reason for all things is the plan and purpose of creation which is to get his own bonified offspring by birthing them by Christ in them.
