Wednesday, 11 October: In this episode of The Daily Grind, we explore the transformative power of the phrase "in Christ" as it appears throughout the New Testament. Hosted by John Spencer, this deep dive into the heart of Christian doctrine reveals how this concept, often overlooked in our modern understanding of Christianity, is central to the faith.
Much like putting on a pair of glasses and experiencing the world in high definition, discovering what it means to be "in Christ" brings a new level of clarity to the Christian walk. We uncover how this phrase, used over 200 times in the New Testament (with the Apostle Paul alone employing it more than 160 times), isn't just another way to describe believers—it is the most intimate, organic, and precious way to depict the relationship between Christ and his followers.
By delving into this foundational concept, we begin to see that being "in Christ" isn't about joining a religious group; it's about becoming part of Christ Himself. This episode challenges our current perspectives and asks the crucial question: Are we seeing the Christian life through the right lens? Join us as we put on our spiritual glasses and explore the profound implications of "in Christ."
