TO BE IN CHRIST

One man stands out as an example of a deep and abiding faith in Christ and in the fullness of His Holy Spirit and that is Saint Paul. His depth of faith in Christ is replete in the pages of the New Testament. No less than 14 of the 27 books were written by him and in all there is ample evidence of the guidance and authority of The Spirit.
Let's take a look at Paul's contributions enlightening us as to God's truth's which we are privy to according to His word.

"For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, , it is the gift of God" In Christ we are forgiven of all our sins and washed in His blood (Eph.1:7; Heb.9:14; Col.1:14). We are a new creation (2Cor.5:17). "Therefore, if any man be in Christ he is a new creation; old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." We are redeemed from the curse of the law (Gal.3:13). "Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us; for it is written, Cursed is everyone that hangs from a tree."
We are the temple of the Holy Spirit (1Cor.6:19). Blessed (Gal.3:9).
