I am IN Christ

My identity is IN Christ.  He is the vine, I am a branch.  I am a new creation, created IN Christ.
I am not just new in time when I was born again, but I am new in kind.  I am not only a new person, but a new KIND of person.  New in quality.  Unheard of before.  I am a new species of being that never existed before.  I am not "only human," I am a new creature in Christ and also human. I look like a regular person on the outside, but on the inside I have the same spirit that raised Christ from the dead living and moving and dwelling in me.  I am a partaker of the Divine nature, I am the temple of the Living God.  I am a partaker of His righteousness, His blessing, His authority, His access.  Everything God did in Christ He did FOR me and it is set to the credit of my account as though I did it!  I am rising up and taking my place in Christ!  I am not fighting FOR victory, but I'm fighting FROM victory!
