Bible Note: So let me ask you - when do we become "in Christ"? Love in Christ, Mark Mark, You have answered your own question in your post from which the above extract is taken. At verse 4, the Lord tells us that, "He chose us in Him from before the foundation of the world". I have no difficulty in taking this to mean that we were put "in Christ" before the world was. Every blessing. Edwin. |
