Christians are in Christ. Are you a Christian?

Bible study:

Going to church does not make you a Christian; nor does saying a prayer, telling yourself that you are, or trying to be a decent person. You can only be a Christian if Christ is in you, which can be tested and proven according to the scriptures.


Rom. 6:23; Rom. 8:1; 1 Cor. 1:2; 15:22; Eph. 1:3; 1 Jn. 5:11 - We must be in Christ to be saved.

Acts 4:10-12; 2 Tim. 2:10 - Salvation is in Jesus.

Rom. 6:11 - We are alive to God in Christ.

Rom. 6:23 - Eternal life is in Christ.

The law of Christ (Gal. 6:2) is the perfect law of liberty (Jas. 1:25).

Jesus said that we will be judged by His words (Jn. 12:48). And, James said that we will be judged by the law of liberty (Jas. 1:25; 2:12).
