In Christ Jesus: The Sphere of the Believer's Life - Paperback

by Arthur T. Pierson (Author)

This book explores seven characteristics of being "In Christ Jesus." These themes include a Christian being "justified" as shown in Romans; "sanctified" as shown in the Corinthian letters; crucified (to the world) as shown in Galatians; "ascended with Christ" as shown in Ephesians; "satisfied" as shown in Philippians; "complete" as shown in Colossians; and "glorified" as shown in the Thessalonian letters. "If there be one truth of the Gospel that is fundamental, and underlies all else, it is this: A new life in Christ Jesus."
