Who You Are and What You Have in Christ | Rightly Dividing with David Reid

What if the most liberating truth in all of Scripture is one that most of us have never fully grasped? This message cuts straight to the heart of what it means to be in Christ, and the answer is far more radical and complete than we might expect. Drawing from Ephesians 1:3, we are reminded that every spiritual blessing has already been given to us, not as something we are striving toward, but as a present reality we already possess. The message walks us through a stunning array of positional truths: we are justified, washed, sanctified, sealed, accepted, and declared righteous the very moment we place faith in the gospel. These are not future hopes contingent on our performance. They are settled facts. The distinction between being in Adam and being in Christ, drawn from 1 Corinthians 15:22, frames the entire message around the most consequential question any person can face. Understanding which side of that line we stand on, and what it means to stand in Christ, changes everything about how we see ourselves, how we relate to God, and how we face the inevitable storms of life.
