In Christ and Christ In You - Growing From Childhood To Sonship
This sermon explores the dual reality of the Christian life—being "in Christ" and having "Christ in you." The message emphasizes that understanding our position in Christ (through His death, burial, resurrection, ascension, and seated position) is the key that unlocks our ability to experience the heavenly realm while still on earth. The sermon teaches that spiritual growth is not about self-improvement but about realizing what we already possess as adopted sons and daughters of God—co-heirs with Christ who have access to His unsearchable riches. The Christian journey progresses through three stages of self-perception: first seeing an improved version of ourselves, then recognizing our wretchedness and flaws, and finally seeing ourselves as God sees us—in Christ. The ultimate goal is for Christ to live His victorious life through believers on earth, demonstrating to the world and spiritual powers that the gospel is real through our supernatural responses to trials and tribulations.
