Christ in you,* the hope of glory. (Colossians 1:27) (See The Trinity in You)
AND!
You* are in Christ! (Ephesians 1:3-4)
This is our new identity: We* are in Christ! We are new creatures. (2 Corinthians 5:17) We are united with Him. Like branches on His vine.
Because we* are in Christ:
We have received every spiritual blessing. All spiritual blessings are found in Him. (Ephesians 1:3)
In Him, our sins have been paid; there is now no condemnation. (Romans 8:1)
We have been justified and redeemed. (Romans 3:24; Ephesians 1:7)
We have been given the grace of God. (1 Corinthians 1:4)
We will never be separated from the love of God. (Romans 8:39)
We have been reconciled with the Father. (2 Corinthians 5:19)
We have been made alive. (Ephesians 2:5)
We have been adopted by the Father, placing us in the household of God. (Ephesians 1:5)
We have God’s peace. (Philippians 4:7)
We have eternal life (Romans 6:23)
We are co-heirs with Christ. (Ephesians 1:11; Romans 8:17)
Everything that is in Him is ours as well.

So who are you? You are a man or woman in Christ.
We “just” need to learn how to yield to Him, how to appropriate all His blessings and riches, and how to walk in newness of life.

“You” and “we” are those who have received Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. If you haven’t, please read Becoming a Child of God.
