The In-Christ Position: Book 2 of the Fundamentals of the Christ-Life Bible Study Series

by Warren Litzman

Overview

The In-Christ Position, Book 2 of The Fundamentals of the Christ-life Bible Study Series, follows The Joy of Knowing Who I Am, Book 1, to help born-again believers discover their new life in Christ! Understanding your new spiritual reality is key to truly experiencing your relationship with God as your Father and living the Christ-life. The instant a person receives Christ, he has a new life, a new identity, and a new position before God. In spirit, he is immediately a complete, re-birthed child of God with the Spirit of Christ indwelling him. He is a true son, fully redeemed, immediately infused with Christ’s life and nature, with His righteousness, wisdom, and love. The old is gone, and the Christian now stands before God in Christ Jesus. When born-again Christians discover their in-Christ position and all that includes, they find security, sustaining rest, joy, and peace which allow them to stand firm in any storm this earthly life delivers. These lessons build from the ground up, guiding students, both new and seasoned, through key foundational truths to advanced concepts in later lessons. Students should begin with Book 1 of The Fundamentals of the Christ-life Bible Study Series, working through these lessons and the following workbooks in their proper order.
