Jan 4, 2022 · To be "in Christ" means that God no longer sees our imperfections; He sees the righteousness of His own Son (Ephesians 2:13; Hebrews 8:12). Only "in Christ" is our sin debt cancelled, our relationship with God restored, and our eternity secured (John 3:16-18, 20:31).

To die is to gain, when death is the result of our faith and godliness. The same cannot be said for death at our own h...
