Relational Prepositions
Overview:
A relational preposition is a preposition that is used with the particular name / role of God and tells us something about our relationship with God. For example, the phrase in Christ
is used in sentences, of the word of God
, which tell us of blessings which are only received when we are in proper relationship with Christ
. Ministers of Satan and deceived people claim that people can receive these blessings even while they refuse to do their duty to maintain their relationship with Christ
. Thus, this is a reference work which helps God's people find and understand what they are commanded to do in order to maintain their own personal relationship with God and in order to know and understand the blessings which the word of God
promises to those people who fulfill God's requirements.
This Study is not yet complete. However, it does provide links to notes within other Studies, on this web site, which explain the sentence which contains the given phrase. Those explanations cover the contextual considerations, sentence considerations and provide links to related references in the word of God
. However, those notes may or may not emphasize the relational preposition. Lord willing, before I die, I will complete this Study with at least a couple of sentences which explain how the relational preposition is used within the sentence and how it matches other places where the word of God
uses the relational preposition and how different relational prepositions tell us about different aspects to our personal relationship with God.
All of the Bible tells us about our relationship with God, and all of the New Testament tells us about our personal relationship with the Son of God through His various roles. How He interacts with us varies depending upon the role involved. (Please see the Lord Jesus Christ for notes on every reference to the major roles of the Son of God.) In addition, when a preposition is attached to one of those roles, that phrase has a particular doctrinal meaning within the relationship. That is: the use of different prepositions affect the doctrinal meaning of what is being said in that particular reference of the Bible.
This Study was started because people were preaching that we can have Christ in us while we are not in Christ. Such claims go against the true doctrine of the word of God
and are a denial of the doctrine of the Trinity. The true doctrine is that we can have God's Holy Spirit
even while we are not in Christ. (This is the main doctrinal teaching of Romans 8).
An internationally known preacher wrote a book which did an excellent job (opinion of many people) of showing that our being in Christ was conditional and that we would not have the blessings, which are associated with that phrase in the Bible, without our being in Christ
. The problem was that he did not say anything about us having Christ in us, but indicated that all saved have Christ in them unconditionally and forever. However, the exact same doctrinal arguments, that he used for our being in Christ can also be apply for saved people having Christ in them. In addition, the blessings associated with having Christ in us are just as conditional.
Please understand, this is not a criticism of that preacher or of the many people who believe this doctrinal error. The fact is that when he wrote the book, Baptist traditions claimed that if someone is saved then they have Christ in forever. However, the Bible says that if someone is saved then they have God's Holy Spirit
in them forever. God's Holy Spirit
and Christ
are two different members of the Trinity.
Unfortunately, many preachers and saved people are not spiritually mature enough to handle situations where they are showed that Bible truth goes against the traditional Baptist doctrine which they have been taught. As a result, they can get very upset by having their error pointed out to them.
For example, many saved people are still convinced that if you're saved you have Christ in you and if you don't have Christ in you then you're not saved. However, saved people having Christ in them and their being Christ in, according to the Bible, is based upon if they are or are not doing their part to maintain the relationship after initial salvation. The truth is that these are not parts of our initial salvation but are part of our sanctification after our initial salvation. And, they have been convinced that they can 'claim' the blessings of being Christ in simply because they are saved. However, when they don't meet God's requirements, they don'5t receive the blessings. Then, when their experience does not match their belief, a devil convinces them that the word of God
is not reliable. And, when discouraged, they stop trying to serve God.
There was a doctrinal dispute that, supposedly, started about 100 AD. The 'intellectuals' at Alexandria of Egypt denied the Trinity and caused a doctrinal split in the church. The majority of the people who denied the Trinity eventually switched to Islam, when it started. However, this doctrinal error did not completely leave the church has persisted even until today.
Ephesians 5 teaches us that the marriage relationship between a man and his wife is a picture of the relationship between Christ and the church
. If the woman kicks the man out of the house and severs the relationship, she can't have the benefits of the relationship even though she is still married. While Christ
will not abandon us, we can 'kick Him out' and abandon our personal relationship. A relationship requires the participation of both parties. If a woman is not 'in a marriage relationship', then neither is her husband. Likewise, the Bible teaches the same thing about our being in Christ and our having Christ in us.
The problem with people understanding this simple concept is that religion has put blinders on their minds about what it the true meaning of the Trinity. This is true for many people even while they think they accept the doctrine of the Trinity. For example, a pastor must deal with his wife one way when they are in the bedroom but must also deal with her another way when she is one of several church members in a church meeting. Also, people deal with a rebellious child one way while private and at home but a different way while in public. Likewise, God deals with His children one way when they are leading others into sin and a different way when His child is encouraging others to obey God. And, with these concepts, hopefully the reader understands that God deals with His people different ways through His different roles.
Consider that the Son of God
experiences being a weak human being but God the Father has not had that experience. That is why the Book of Hebrews says that the Son of God
represents us to God the Father and we do not go directly to God the Father.
The basic source of this problem, in understanding the different roles of God, is the pride of man. It is a lot easier to keep your pride when you are dealing with a 'god' who is merely a superior type of human being. It is also easier to get people to believe that such a 'god' is so proud that he will not deal with believers directly but demands that the believers go through a priest. Of course, this allows the priest to make up rules which supposedly came from the 'god' but which can not be verified independent of the priest.
The doctrine of the Trinity teaches that God is so vast and complex that each of the 'persons of the Trinity' that we can interact with is greater than the 'gods' of lost people. Further, God is so vast and complex that each 'person of the Trinity' is an separate person while still being part of the single God. In addition, God wants to deal with each of us personally and many people find that to be very frightening for many reasons and would rather deal through a priest even if the priest does make up rules. Finally, our Bible teaches that our relationship with each person in the Trinity is different from our relationship with the other persons in the Trinity. For example, we can get certain things from God the Father that we can not get from God the Son nor the Holy Spirit. Likewise, what we get from God the Son and from the Holy Spirit are also unique.
Once more we run into man's pride when he refuses God's conditions and insists that he can get from one person of the Trinity, such as the Father, what God says only comes from another person of the Trinity, such as Christ
, which is a role of the Son.
I use an illustration of a bulb-light and an illustration of power to the wired bulb in order to teach these concepts to Forth Grade boys. We can see a ceiling light and know that it is wired through a series of wires and connectors to the power generating plant. We can also see the light switch that lets the power flow to the light or stop the flow, even though the light stays wired to the electrical system. Saved people are the light bulb. God the Father is like the power generating plant. The Holy Ghost is like the wire that keeps saved people attached to the spiritual power system. Jesus Christ
is like the variable power switch. When we are not in Christ then Jesus Christ
cuts the power even though we are still wired to God the Father through the Holy Ghost.
With the illustration of a bulb-light, if we look at a low watt bulb when it is turned on we can see light inside of the bulb. What's more, when the bulb is turned on, it is inside of the light that it produced. Thus, when the power is turned on then the bulb is in the light and the light is in the bulb. Likewise, when our relationship with Christ
is right and God's power is flowing through our life, we are in Christ and have Christ in us. When we break fellowship with Christ
, and force Him to cut the power of God in our life, we still have the Holy Ghost in us, just like the bulb is still wired to the power plant. However, when we break our relationship with Christ
, we are no longer in Christ and no longer have Christ in us, just like the bulb is not in the light and does not have light in it when we cut the power going over the wire to the bulb.
The Bible uses the phrases in Christ and Christ in to describe the saved person having the power of God operating in their life. That state of being is conditional based upon how we personally maintain our relationship with God. It is not guaranteed simply because we are saved. Further, there are a lot of blessings from God that are given only to those saved people who are in Christ and have Christ in them. Just as receiving the blessings of as marriage depend upon people maintaining that relationship, so also are the blessings that God says come from our relationship that is in Christ and causes us to have Christ in us.
The word in
occurs 12,674 times in 9,526 verses of the Bible. Obviously, all of those occurrences are not included here. What is included are verses where the word in
is used to define the relationship between man and God. Even then, only the verses that I have identified, so far, are within the New Testament.
In addition, verses which use other prepositions ('by', 'of', 'through', etc) to describe our relationship to God are also included in this Study. As with the word in
, many verses are not yet included.
While this document is dealing with prepositions that the Bible uses to describe our relationship to the Son of God, each of the various Book Studies, at ljc1611kjv,com, contain a table which has every occurrence of God
(the Father) in that book. Please see those tables for information about our relationship with God the Father.

Verses using In Christ
The words in
, when associated with a name / role of God within the Bible, means: 'in relationship to'. A relationship is between two beings with each having rights and responsibilities within the relationship. And, each person can break the relationship by refusing to fulfill their responsibilities within the relationship. Therefore, even though Jesus
will never leave us nor forsake us, we can destroy the relationship by refusing to fulfill our own responsibilities within the relationship. And, with that in mind, we can see that when the Bible uses the phrase of: in Christ
, that Bible reference is telling us: 'what Christ
provides within the relationship so long as we are fulfilling our part of the relationship'.
Philippians 2 gives us specific instructions on how to be in Christ
. People can claim what they want. But, unless they fulfill those instructions, they will not be in Christ
.
- We must have
Christ in
us in order to bein Christ
. 1Corinthians 1:13; Ephesians 1:23 (see note on Ephesians 1:20 for the details). - Multiple blessings for being

one body in Christ
and receive gifts for the edifying ofChrist's body
. Romans 12 especially Romans 12:5. A hand can not operate when cut off from the body. The same is true for a foot or any other part of the body. Likewise, if we are notin Christ
('doing our part to maintain the ongoing personal relationship with Christ') we can not use our spiritual gift. Use of spiritual gifts requires spiritual power. Yes, we remain saved because of the indwelling Holy Spirit. However, any spiritual power, which we can use, comes only throughChrist
. And, if we leave our relationship with Him, we also leave access to all usable spiritual power. - Romans 16:7: We are to be available for God to use our lives as an example when we are
in Christ
. - Romans 16:9: We are to help the preacher teach others how to spiritually mature and be
in Christ
. - Romans 16:10: We are to do the work of the ministry so that we are
approved in Christ
. - We are to have
the testimony of Christ confirmed in (us) So that ye
('each and every one of us personally')come behind in no gift
. 1Corinthians 1:6 - We are
babes in Christ
when we put the preaching of men over the literal written word of God. 1Corinthians 3:1 - We open ourselves to godly sarcasm when we claim to be
in Christ
and are not. 1Corinthians 4:10 - A true
instructor in Christ
will not lead us against the basic doctrine of those who havebegotten [us] through the
gospel. 1Corinthians 4:15 - The
Lord
appoints our trueinstructors in Christ
. 1Corinthians 4:17 - If our life
in Christ
doesn't show a change then we show that those who died servingChrist
went to Hell because livingin Christ
can't make an eternal difference if it doesn't make a difference here and now. 1Corinthians 15:18 - If our life
in Christ
doesn't show a change then weare of all men most miserable
because there will be no eternal reward to make up for presentpersecution
. 1Corinthians 15:19 - All are
made alive
by beingin Christ

ministers. 1Corinthians 16:24 - We are established in our positions by being
in Christ
. 2Corinthians 1:21 - Our triumph from God is only given
in Christ

is one of the requirements for speaking the word of God without corrupting it. 2Corinthians 2:17 - Being
in Christ

of misunderstanding and of religion. 2Corinthians 3:14 - We are changed by being

in Christ
. Galatians 3:17 - We have the
Holy Spirit of promise
all ofthe riches of the glory [from God]
,oneness
, and much more but only if we areChrist's
. Galatians 4:19 - This sentence says
...travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you
. These Galatians were saved but no longer hadChrist in
them. This shows that someone can haveChrist in
them and then lose that condition, which means that being saved and havingChrist in
us are two different things. Ephesians 1:10. We should be to the praise of his [Gold the Father's] glory
when we arein Christ
. Ephesians 1:12- We miss out on a of blessings when we are not
in Christ
. Ephesians 1:20 (sentence is Ephesians 1:15-23) - The promises from God are only available to us
in Christ

. Philemon 1:8 - Only those that are

. Matthew 11:2- What the Bible teaches
of Christ
is usually different than what religion teaches. Matthew 22:42 - From Old Testament prophecy, the Jews understood that
Christ
was a title of a special position with special promises from God. Acts 2:31 - Romans 7:4:
Ye
(each and every one of you personally )also are become dead
(not responsive )to the law
(righteousness through keeping religious rules)by the body of Christ
(righteousness through an ongoing personal relationship with the Son of God). TheSon of God
died asChrist
to pay for the sins that we do after we are initially saved. He gave Hisbody
as payment for our sins and fore the right to change us and teach us how to mature spiritually in an ongoing personal relationship with Him. This replaces our obeying religious rules (law
), which makes usdead to the law
. In order to do this, He had to give thebody
which belonged (of
) to Him personally. - Romans 8:9: We are
Christians

of Christ

instead of doing ourLord's
commandments we will have to answer for the consequences of our actions some day atthe judgment seat of Christ
. - Romans 15:19 says:
Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.
The works of God done through Paul showed that God approved the gospel of Christ that Paul preached. - Romans 15:29 tell us that the gospel of Christ is the good news of blessings beyond initial profession.

the gospel of Christ
. - Romans 16:16: Our doctrine is to be controlled by the gospel of Christ if we are to be a true
church of Christ

and in Christ

means: 'belonging to'. Things which are of Christ
are things which 'belong to' Him. Things which are of Christ
are things which are only given to people who are in

Verses using Through Christ
The word through
means: 'enter one side of a barrier and continue traveling inside until you come out the other side'. We go through
a mountain by entering a tunnel on one side of the mountain and coming out one the other side. Not all saved receive the things that are through Christ
. Only those people who enter their ongoing personal relationship with Christ
, that produces spiritual maturity in us, and do their part to maintain the relationship, receive these things.
- Romans 8:37:
Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
Although this verse actually says:through him
, the prior verses identified thehim
to beChrist
. Here we see that saved people becomemore than conquerors
onlythrough Christ
. - 2Corinthians 3:4
And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward:
: This sentence literally tells us that our own ability totrust
God is not sufficient. When we put ourtrust through
our ongoing personal relationship withChrist
, He increase ourtrust
to a level that is sufficient for us to do what God wants us to do. - Galatians 4:7
Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
: This sentence tells us that the only way that we areheirs
of God isthrough Christ
. If we do not maintain our ongoing personal relationship withChrist
, then we will have little, or no, eternal reward from God. - Philippians 4:13
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
:This is a well-known verse that is often quoted and preached. Unfortunately, while people like to shout about theI can do all things
, few seem to understand and believe the requirement that it bethrough Christ
.
Verses using In Christ Jesus
The words in
, when associated with a name / role of God within the Bible, means: 'in relationship to'. A relationship is between two beings with each having rights and responsibilities within the relationship. And, each person can break the relationship by refusing to fulfill their responsibilities within the relationship. Therefore, even though Jesus
will never leave us nor forsake us, we can destroy the relationship by refusing to fulfill our own responsibilities within the relationship. And, with that in mind, we can see that when the Bible uses the phrase of: Christ in
, that Bible reference is telling us: 'what Christ
provides within the relationship so long as we are fulfilling our part of the relationship'. These references tell us that we must do our part to fulfill our relationship with Christ
and with Jesus
. And, the emphasis is on Christ
. Therefore, God does not even offer these things until after we mature spiritually enough to satisfy God.
- Being
in Christ Jesus
providesredemption
. Romans 3:21-26. we are continually 'bought back' from the penalty of ongoing sin only through our ongoing personal relationship that isin Christ Jesus
. If we leave this relationship, after being saved, then we will answer for these sins atthe judgment seat of Christ

in Christ Jesus
removes condemnation because wewalk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit

and salvation wasin Christ Jesus before the world began
2Timothy 1:9 Sound words
andfaith and love
arein Christ Jesus
2Timothy 1:13Grace
isin Christ Jesus
2Timothy 2:1. This letter was written by Paul from prison when he was preparing Timothy to takes over his ministry. This is the fifth, of eight, times that Paul usesChrist Jesus
, which the Bible uses for spiritual blessings given only to saved people who have matured throughChrist
and who are following the example ofJesus
for how to live in the flesh and are obeying the spiritual lessons fromChrist
which causes us to mature spiritually. Paul starts this sentence withThou therefore, my son
('as a direct result of what was said in the prior chapter and because you have my character in the faith {son
}'). In the prior chapter Paul started out reminding of thefaith
that he received from his mother and grandmother; andthe gift of God, which is in thee
; and the example and teaching he had from Paul; and the testimony of others who obeyedChrist Jesus
in spite of possible persecutions. Thus, thegrace
, which is promised in this sentence, is dependent upon Timothy using all that was given to Him. In addition, our nest sentence starts with the wordand
, and it starts instructions of what Timothy is to do with thisgrace
. Therefore, we see the conditions which must be met before someone receives thisgrace
and what God expects the person to use it for. And, all of these things require us to do our part to maintain the relationship that isin Christ Jesus
.Salvation with eternal glory
isin Christ Jesus
2Timothy 2:10All that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution

Christ Jesus
in us. Philippians 2 :5 - Since we have
Christ Jesus
in us, we are toldso walk ye in him
. Colossians 2:6
Verses using Of Christ Jesus
The word of
means: 'belonging to'. Things which are of Christ Jesus
are things which 'belong to' Him. Since Christ
s used before Jesus
these things are available to all saved but only after they mature spiritually and are continuing to mature spiritually.
- The
knowledge of Christ Jesus [our] Lord
lets uswin Christ

apprehended of Christ Jesus
so that he can bless us if weapprehend
what He prepared. Philippians 3:12
Verses using Through Christ Jesus
The word through
means: 'enter one side of a barrier and continue traveling inside until you come out the other side'. . . . . . . .
- This verse tells us that God will
shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us
. This verse usesChrist Jesus
, and notJesus Christ
because thisexceeding riches
is given more through our ongoing relationship withChrist
than is given at our initial salvation. Of course, this requires us to maintain our ongoing relationship withChrist
in order for us to receive the increase ofexceeding riches
. Ephesians 2:7That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
- Many saved people do not experience
the peace of God, which passeth all understanding
because they ignore the requirement for it to comethrough Christ Jesus
. Saved people who are not maintaining their personal relationship will have the initialpeace
which came at their initial profession but will not have the increasedpeace
which only comes through our ongoing personal relationship withChrist
. This verse usesChrist Jesus
, and notJesus Christ
because thispeace
is given more through our ongoing relationship withChrist
than is given at our initial salvation. Philippians 4:7And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Verses using In Jesus Christ
The words in
, when associated with a name / role of God within the Bible, means: 'in relationship to'. A relationship is between two beings with each having rights and responsibilities within the relationship. And, each person can break the relationship by refusing to fulfill their responsibilities within the relationship. Therefore, even though Jesus
will never leave us nor forsake us, we can destroy the relationship by refusing to fulfill our own responsibilities within the relationship. And, with that in mind, we can see that when the Bible uses the phrase of: Christ in
, that Bible reference is telling us: 'what Christ
provides within the relationship so long as we are fulfilling our part of the relationship'. These references tell us that we must do our part to fulfill our relationship with Christ
and with Jesus
. These things are offered as soon as a person in saved but they increase along with our level of spiritual maturity.
In the name of
means 'by the power of '. It takes the ministriesof Jesus
andof Christ
to be Biblically saved. Each of these verses are part of stories where people were saved and received a miracle by the powerof Jesus
andof Christ
. Acts 2:38; Acts 3:6; Acts 16:18;in Jesus Christ
is consistent faithfulness 2Corinthians 1:19.- We see and learn to understand
the glory of God
as we look into the face ofJesus Christ
2Corinthians 1:20. - All of the

preserved in Jesus Christ
. Jude 1:1
Verses using Jesus Christ In
-
Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
Areprobate
is rejected of God and that does not happen to people unless they have hardened their heart with repeated refusals of salvation or because of repeated refusals sanctification after their initial profession. Since this is written to saved people, and since the verse usesJesus Christ
, both causes of people beingreprobate
are included in this verse. 2Corinthians 13:5. Jesus Christ is in
us providing mercy so that He can show thelongsuffering
of God to those that follow us and to draw others to salvation. 1Timothy 1:16
Verses using Of Jesus Christ
The word of
means: 'belonging to'. Things which are of Jesus Christ
are things which 'belong to' Him. These are available to all saved but are given with the conditional expectation of our using them to mature spiritually. Our refusal to mature spiritually will stop their being given to us.
- The man named
Jesus
fulfilled the prophecies aboutChrist
and thereby proved that He is theChrist
and is the Son of God. Matthew 1:1; Matthew 1:18; Mark 1:1 - It takes the ministries
of Jesus
andof Christ
to be Biblically saved. Acts 2:38; Acts 3:6; Acts 4:10; Acts 16:18; Acts 16:25; - It takes the ministries
of Jesus

As should be obvious, this is how Paul introduced himself at the start of each of his Epistles. The technical differences in the words used (servant / minister / apostle / prisoner), can be found in the Word Studies of the various Epistles. What is more important, for this Study, is the fact that each of these roles tell us that Paul, after his conversion, devoted his life to the service ofJesus Christ
. What Paul did, after his conversion, was in the service ofJesus Christ
and not what he chose to do. Neither was it in the service of any other person nor of any other cause. All of his service belonged toJesus Christ
. That is, his example, writings, and teachings were directed at getting others to follow the example of Jesus for how to live in the flesh and his example, writings, and teachings were directed at getting others to obeyChrist
so that they would mature spiritually and so that they would be profitable to God's spiritual work. - The gospel of Christ is not directed to the lost or to the ' saved but disobedient ' but to those that consider themselves to be
the called of Jesus Christ:...called to be saints
. Romans 1:16 - Our righteousness before God requires the ministry of
Jesus
and ofChrist
. Romans 3:22. Our sentence says that we receivethe righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ
. That is: the Son of God died with the faith that He could show the truly saved how to live in the flesh using the examples that we read in the Gospels. He also died with the faith that He could cause the truly saved to mature spiritually by giving the spiritual lessons found in the epistles which come from His role asChrist
. As the truly saved follow the example ofJesus
, and learn the lessons fromChrist
, theythe righteousness of God
. - We are
called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord

us. 1Corinthians 1:9 - We see and learn to understand

that was evident in his physical life. Revelation 1:9 - Satan wars against people
have the testimony of Jesus Christ
. Revelation 12:17
Verses using By Jesus Christ
The word by
means: 'how you get from one place to another'. We did not have the things given by Jesus Christ
until He gave them to us. These are things which are available to all saved but require spiritual maturity to continue to receive them.
For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ
. John 1:17- The people in the early church understood the Biblical meaning of
by the name of
to mean ' by the power of '. In Acts 4:10 Peter told people that a man received a miracleby the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth
. - Acts 10:36 tells us that it takes each and every role of the Son of God to provide true salvation.
- God will judge each of us according to the standard set
by Jesus Christ
. Romans 2:16. Our sentence literally tells us that God the Father will useJesus Christ

the grace of God, and the gift by grace...is by one man, Jesus Christ
. This verse is part of a large sentence which tells us: 'How Sin entered the world and what God did about it'. And, the sentence also tells us that God did everythingby Jesus Christ
. He is how we went from being sinners condemned to an eternity in thelake of fire
to being beloved children of God. - Romans 5:17:
Jesus Christ
is the one who provides the change in saved people's lives that will allow theLord

Verses using Through Jesus Christ

Through
means: 'enter one side of a barrier and continue traveling inside until you come out the other side'. We gothrough
a mountain by entering a tunnel on one side of the mountain and coming out one the other side. - Romans 1:8:
First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world
. Paul started, and continued, to give his thanks to Godthrough Jesus Christ

because he had entered into a relationship withJesus Christ
and continued in it. - Romans 15:17:
I have therefore whereof I may glory through Jesus Christ in those things which pertain to God.
. Please notice the wordtherefore
at the beginning of this Bible reference. God had used this ongoing personal relationship that Paul had (through Jesus Christ
), as the apostle to the Gentiles, to change the lives of the believers to whom Paul was writing. Their changed life is what Paul wrote thatpertain to God
. As a parent takesglory
in the things that they taught to their child and that their child receives recognition for achieving, so also does a pastor takesglory
in the things that God does in the lives of people that the pastor led to salvation and to spiritual growth. In order for others to receive these things from God as a result of the work by the pastor, the pastor must maintain their ongoing personal relationship that isthrough Jesus Christ
so thatJesus Christ
can keep workingthrough
the life of the pastor in order to change the lives of the church members. We all influence others. And, a godly pastor strives to make their influence to be something that God can work through. - Romans 16:27:
To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen

Verses using In Jesus
- When the
word of God
uses the wordin
and attaches it to a role / name of God, the word actually means: 'in relationship to' that role / name of God. A true relationship is a two-way interaction between two beings with rights and responsibilities on each being. Yes,Jesus
saidI will never leave thee, nor forsake thee
(Hebrews 13:5). However, if we are not fulfilling our responsibilities in this relationship, then we have left the relationship. And, when we do that, we lose the benefits of that relationship. With that in mind, our responsibility in this relationship is to follow the example ofJesus
for how to live in the flesh using the power of the Holy Ghost. (Please see the Doctrinal Study called What Did Jesus Do?. - Romans 3:26
To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
This verse is part of a sentence which is actually in Romans 3:21-26 (But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus
). The entire sentence must be considered together at a minimum because a sentence expresses a single thought. The note for this sentence, in the Book Study, is extensive and explains the entire sentence and the contextual considerations. In particular, this sentence also deals with thefaith of Jesus Christ
andthe redemption that is in Christ Jesus
and all of these phrases are part of the doctrine ofthe righteousness of God without the law
. That isthe righteousness of God
which is given to saved people during the 'Church Age'. Now, our verse is telling us that God'srighteousness...is manifested
('revealed every possible way') so that Godmight be just
('the one who wipes away the legal records of our sins which are recorded in heaven')and the justifier
(and 'the person Who provides what is necessary to justify His changing the legal record in Heaven'). And our verse continues withof him which believeth in Jesus
(The wordbelieveth
means: 'a lifestyle belief which changes our life'). Here we see the condition which is required for us to receive the promise that God will be ourjustifier
and the promise that God will 'wipe away the legal records of our sins which are recorded in heaven'. And that requirement is that we must fulfill what is meant bybelieveth in Jesus
. TheSon od God's
role asJesus
'shows us how to live in the flesh'. (Please see the Doctrinal Study called What Did Jesus Do?) Therefore, we can receive these promises only if we follow the example ofJesus
for how to live in the flesh. That will cause God'srighteousness
to become part of our character and part of the life that wemanifest
to others. This changed life then makes Godthe justifier of him which believeth in Jesus
. And, after our change life makes God ourjustifier
, then God isjust
to 'wipe away the legal records of our sins which are recorded in heaven'.
Thus, our sentence and verse is telling us that we must follow the example ofJesus
for how to live in the flesh if we want to receive these promises. And, the saved people who do not do this requirement will be judged for the sins that they do after becoming a child of God. That judgment will be at thejudgment seat of Christ
(Romans 14:10; 2Corinthians 5:10). - Ephesians 4:21
If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:
This verse is part of a sentence which is actually in Ephesians 4:20-24 (But ye have not so learned Christ; If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness
). The entire sentence must be considered together at a minimum because a sentence expresses a single thought. The note for this sentence, in the Book Study, is extensive and explains the entire sentence and the contextual considerations. In particular, our verse starts with the wordif
. That makes it conditional with thehim
, of our verse, referring to the role ofChrist
, wh9ich is earlier in this sentence and in the prior verse. Now, our sentence is telling us thatChrist
has not taught us towalk...as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness
. Therefore, sinceChrist
has not taught us to act this way, if we still act this way then wehave heard of Christ, and have been taught by Christ
. That is, any truly saved person who still acts this way is a carnal spiritualbabe
. And, our verse continues to tell usas the truth is in Jesus
. This means that: 'Christ teaches saved people to follow the example of Jesus in order to walk in the truth and to mature spiritually'.
Now, our sentence continues with:That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man...And that ye put on the new man
with the skipped phrases telling us how to do this. But, the point of what is quoted is that there must be a change in ourman
, which means: 'how we act in the flesh'. And, this change in our flesh is that weput off...the corruption which is according to the deceitful lusts; And be renewed in the spirit of your mind
and that weput on...that which after God and is created in righteousness and true holiness
.
The rest of this chapter tells us more specific doctrine to do which will help us to do what this sentence commands us to do. However, here we see another place which tells us to follow the example ofJesus
for how to act in the flesh. We are also told that our doing so will result in God'srighteousness and true holiness
beingmanifest
in our life. Those two points are the same as we saw in our prior reference. What is new here is that this changed life is the result of the spiritual maturing which is taught byChrist
. And, if we are truly saved, then our failure to have this changed life proves that we are a carnal spiritualbabe
. - 1Thessalonians 4:14
For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
Our sentence starts with the wordFor
, which means it is giving us the reason why what came before this verse / sentence is true. And, this sentence is prophecy about the 'Rapture'. I believe that it is promising that the saved people who are 'Rapture'd, andthem also which sleep in Jesus
will get their new glorified bodies at this time. The next two sentences (three verses) indicate this but do not directly say it. Therefore, this is not something to argue about. However, we see Paul use the Phrases of:sleep in Jesus
anddead in Christ
to identify the same group of people and this group is not all saved. Our chapter starts with:Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more
. And, all of the chapter before our verse is speaking about ourwalk
and how it must be according to thecommandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus
. These arecommandments
for how we are to live in our flesh and that we will be judged for obeying. Therefore, the phrase of:them also which sleep in Jesus
is identifying dead saved people who obeyed thecommandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus
. In addition, the phrase of:dead in Christ
is also identifying dead saved people who spiritually matured (in Christ
) by obeying thecommandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus
. The saved people who did not obey are not included in this promise. And, as explained elsewhere on this web site, they are also excluded from themarriage supper of the lamb
(Revelation 19:9) and are excluded from returning withChrist
to rule and reign on this Earth (Revelation 17:14).
What we see here, which matches the prior verses, is that there are promises given to people who follow the example ofJesus
for how to live in the flesh. And, those promises are denied to saved people who refuse to follow the example ofJesus
for how to live in the flesh.

come out the other side'.

Verses using In Lord
The words in
, when associated with a name / role of God within the Bible, means: 'in relationship to'. A relationship is between two beings with each having rights and responsibilities within the relationship. And, each person can break the relationship by refusing to fulfill their responsibilities within the relationship. Therefore, even though Jesus
will never leave us nor forsake us, we can destroy the relationship by refusing to fulfill our own responsibilities within the relationship. And, with that in mind, we can see that when the Bible uses the phrase of: In Lord
, that Bible reference is telling us: 'what the Lord
will legally provide when we obey His commands'. For example, the phrase: in the name of the Lord
tells us what we will legally receive, such as having the legal record of our sins blotted out, when we trust in the power and authority (name
) of the Lord
. In addition, someone who cometh in the name of the Lord
has all of the power and authority, of the Lord
, backing their message.

For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
. This sentence uses the wordLord
for ourLord Jesus Christ
. Every place what the Bible says:shall be saved
, it uses the title / role ofLord
. There is no place where the Bible tells us to 'ask Jesus to be your savior'. This sentence tells us: 'whosoever trusts in the power and authority (call upon the name)
) of the Lord'shall be saved
. Since the role ofLord
deals with laws, government and judgment, people must accept this role to change their legal record, in Heaven, for their sin, which is a violation of God's law. They must also agree to His right to make laws telling us how to act and what attitudes to have. They must also agree with His right to punish the disobedient. And, these are just some of the basic differences between what is truly meant bycall upon the name of the Lord
and what some people believe is meant by: 'ask Jesus to be your savior'. - Romans 11:34:
For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counseller?

Verses using In Lord Jesus
The words in
, when associated with a name / role of God within the Bible, means: 'in relationship to'. A relationship is between two beings with each having rights and responsibilities within the relationship. And, each person can break the relationship by refusing to fulfill their responsibilities within the relationship. Therefore, even though Jesus
will never leave us nor forsake us, we can destroy the relationship by refusing to fulfill our own responsibilities within the relationship. In addition, the Bible uses the role of Lo0rd
for all legal matters and it uses the name of Jesus
for our example of how to live in the flesh. Therefore, with those things in mind, we can see that when the Bible uses the phrase of: In Lord Jesus
, that Bible reference is telling us that: 'we will be judged for how well we follow the
example of Jesus
'.

Verses using Through Lord Jesus Christ
The word through
means that we must enter a barrier and travel inside it until we come out on the other side. Think of a tunnel that lets us travel through
a mountain. The things which are through our Lord Jesus Christ
are not given to people unless they enter their ongoing personal relationship with Him and stay doing their part in that relationship until they receive the promised results. That means that they must continue to follow the example of Jesus
for how to live in the flesh, and continue to learn spiritual maturity from the lessons given by Christ
and they must keep in mind that they will be judged by their Lord
Who will give eternal rewards and / or punishments based upon how well they obeyed, or disobeyed, their personal commandments from Jesus

Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord
. Basically, we are commanded to stop responding to the prompting of sin and to respond to the personal commandments fromJesus Christ our Lord
. When we enter the ongoing personal relationship withJesus Christ our Lord
, and continue in it by obeying His commandments based upon the knowledge that our future judgment (Lord
) will be based upon our personal commandments received fromJesus Christ
, He is able to use those personal commandments to cause us to stop responding to the temptations to sin (to be dead indeed unto sin
). We are to continue in this relationship (through

to receive rewards or punishments based upon our level of obedience. - Romans 6:23:

. Our proof of whether weabideth in him
, or not, is whether wesin
, or not, - 1John 3:24
And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.
. This very clearly says that thein
is two-way and not one-way. We can not haveHim in us
and not bein Him
. We can have the Holy Ghost in us while the Son of God is notin us
because the Holy Ghost never leaves the saved. However, having the Son of Godin us
is conditional. Notice that this verse says that the Holy Spirit is the witness to us about if the Son of God is (also) in us or not. - 1John 4:13
Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit
. This says the same thing as was noted for 3:24 (above). Our havingHis Spirit
does not guarantee thatwe dwell in him, and he in us
. Rather,His Spirit
, which never leaves us, tells us whenwe dwell in him, and he in us
. - 1John 4:16
...God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him
. We have houses but we do not alwaysdwell
in them because there are times that we leave our houses. Likewise, we do not alwaysdwell
inlove
because there are times that we leavelove
and act like sinful humans. - Colossians 2:6-7
As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
. This sentence tells us to personally (ye
)walk
in the same kind of faith and action (as
) which resulted in our personal salvation. The colon within this sentence makes...so walk ye in him
equivalent toRooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving
. That is: Christ uses our ongoing personal relationship to makes usRooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith
. Part of how He does this is teach us personally (as ye have been taught
) through the church and with preaching and teaching by godly men. The evidence that we have really been taught is that we areabounding therein with thanksgiving
. - Verses using
in Him is in God's Son
- Acts 10:43:
To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins
. In this sentence, Peter references scripture to say thatall the prophets give witness
that God will wipe out the record of our sins, and that we can go to Heaven, if webelieveth in him
. Notice that this is not a religious act but it is putting our 'life-long belief' in the person of ourLord Jesus Christ
. - 1John 5:11
And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son
. We can keep God'seternal life
growing in us only while weabide in Him
. - 1John 5:14
And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us
. Thethis
of this verse is referring to the prior verse where John saidye may believe on the name of the Son of God
. True Biblicalbelieve
results in action. Ourconfidence
(and how much we have) in getting our prayers answered is based our acting upon ourbelief on the name of the Son of God
. - 1John 5:20
And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life
. Ourknowing
that we arein Him
is based upon theunderstanding
thathe hath given us
. If we reject theunderstanding
that comes from the Son of God in favor of a religious error, we will notknow (that) we are in him that is true
. - 2Corinthians 1:19
For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, but in him was yea
.The Son of God, Jesus Christ
does not keep changing His mind but the things that He says are always reliable. - 2Corinthians 1:20
For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.
. We only getthe promises of God
when we arein Him
. However, when we arein Him
, the promises are guaranteed. - Verses using
in him
to meanin Christ
- 2Corinthians 5:21
For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
The prior verse specifically says that thehim
of this verse isChrist
. Receivingthe righteousness of God
takes time and requiresChrist
to change us to be like God (John 1:12). This happens over time after our initial profession. - 2Corinthians 13:4
For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God toward you.
The second prior verse specifically says that thehim
of this verse isChrist
. We havethe power of God
in our lives only when we arein Christ
. - Colossians 1:19
For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;
. The full context and the rest of this sentence is dealt with in the Book Study on Colossians. However, the phrase that concerns us in this Study tells us that we can not befulfilled
outside of our ongoing personal relationship with the Son of God. Please also see the verse below. - Colossians 2:9
For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
The prior sentence of this chapter specifically says that thehim
of this verse isChrist
. We have access to everything that is available from God when we arein Christ
, Which is literally what the next sentence says when it says:And ye are complete in him..
. Please see the Book Study for more details on the context. Please also see the verse above. - Colossians 2:10
And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
. Since our sentence tells us that we arecomplete in him
, it should be obvious that we can not be madecomplete
unless we arein him
. In addition, it should be obvious that we can not be remaincomplete
unless we remainin him
. Since our verse/sentence starts with the wordFor
, it is giving a reason why what was said in the prior verse/sentence is true. Please see the Book Study on Colossians for the full context as this entire chapter is talking about the subject of this sentence. - Verses using
in him is in a man
- 1John 2:4
He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him
. NeitherJesus Christ
nor God'struth
is in a disobedient liar. - 1John 2:24
Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.
. The way tocontinue in the Son, and in the Father
is to be sure to keep God's truthabiding
in us.
Verses using Him in
Only the verses within 1John have been added to this section so far. With few exceptions, only verses which use him
for God are included here. The exceptions are where the verse is talking about us being in God and the him
is used for us.
We must be in Him in order to have Him in
us.
- 1John 3:9
Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
. This sentence usesseed
for the life from God that we receive at our initial salvation and that remainsin
saved people. - 1John 3:15
Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
. Ifeternal life
is notabiding in
a person then they are not saved. - 1John 3:17
But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?
. SinceGod is love
, and a saved person has a problem with their relationship with God if God (meaning the Father, not the Holy Spirit) is notabiding
in them, then this sentence is telling us that when we refuse to havecompassion
on our brother, we are showing that we have a problem with our relationship with God the Father. - 1John 3:24
And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.
. This very clearly says that thein
is two-way and not one-way. We can not haveHim in us
and not bein Him
. We can have the Holy Ghost in us while the Son of God is notin us
because the Holy Ghost never leaves the saved. However, having the Son of Godin us
is conditional. Notice that this verse says that the Holy Spirit is the witness to us about if the Son of God is (also) in us or not. - 1John 4:4
Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
. Most people apply this sentence to all saved. However, not all saved haveovercome
thespirit of antichrist
. This is because, as we have seen in these summary notes and in the more detailed notes of the Book Study on 1John, Having God the Fatherin us
is actually talking about having our relationship right and not talking about if we are saved or lost. We must have our relationship with God the Father right in order toovercome
thespirit of antichrist
. - 1John 4:12
No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
. 1John 2:5 told us that havinghis love is perfected in us
gave us assurance of salvation. This sentence adds to that by telling us thatIf we love one another
we will be sanctified (havehis love is perfected in us
). - 1John 4:13
Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit
. This says the same thing as was noted for 3:24 (above). Our havingHis Spirit
does not guarantee thatwe dwell in him, and he in us
. Rather,His Spirit
, which never leaves us, tells us whenwe dwell in him, and he in us
. - 1John 4:15
Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
. The key to understanding this sentence is realizing that when the Bible uses the wordconfess
, it is talking about something that you live, not just something that you say one time. It takesGod in us
andun in God
in order to live a life which displays thatJesus is the Son of God
. - 1John 4:16
...God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
. Please see the note for this verse in the Book Study on 1John. - 1John 5:10
He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son
. This sentence is summing up what John is saying in this epistle. If someone is saved (believeth on the Son of God
) then they havethe witness in himself
(indwelling Holy Spirit). Thatwitness
testifies ofthe record that God gave of his Son
, which is that He causes the saved to 'Stop their sinning'. People who claim to be saved but never 'Stop their sinning' and never have an internalwitness
that they need to 'Stop their sinning'hath made him (God) a liar
.

means: 'belonging to'. These are things which 'belong to' the roles which is identified by the context. Please see the notes in the various Book Studies for more details on this truth.

caused a division by making some people believe the Bible which went against their religious traditions while others stuck to the religious traditions in spite of them going against the Bible truth. - John 9:17 The religious leaders questioned a formerly blind man and wanted to know what things he thought belonged to
Jesus
. He answered:He is a prophet
. - John 10:21

.Jesus

belonged to Him because he disagreed with the doctrinal error taught by the religious leaders. - John 12:16 tells us that the disciples remembered the
things (that were) were written of him
(thewritings

invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen
.Jesus
used the wind as an illustration of spiritual things in John 3. You can not see the wind but you can see the effects of the wind. Likewise, we can not sense spiritual things with our physical senses but we can sense their effects. Thus, theinvisible (spiritual) things of him (God) from the creation of the world are clearly seen
in their effects on this physical world. - Romans 3:26
To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus
. Thehim
, of this verse, is speaking about anyone whobelieveth in Jesus
. - Romans 5:14
Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come
. Thehim
, of this verse, isJesus
. Adam had thefigure
of a literal physical man and so didJesus
. Since we sinned as literal physical men,Jesus
had to pay for our sins as literal physical man. - Romans 8:11
But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you
. The phrase:of him
, in our sentence / verse, is used for: 'of God the Father'. The phrase:quicken your mortal bodies
means: 'make you spiritually alive in your mortal body'. That is, even though we are still in sinful flesh, God the Father is able to usehis Spirit that dwelleth in you
to do spiritual things such as bring spiritual life (salvation, sanctification
) to other people. The power toquicken your mortal bodies
('make you spiritually alive within your physical body') 'belongs to' (of
) God the Father. - Romans 8:20-21
For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God
. The phrase:of him
, in our sentence / verse, is used for what 'belongs to' God the Father. Thereason
that all of creation was cursed, when Adam sinned, 'belongs to' God the Father. And, while we might not understand why God cursed all of creation, we do not have the power nor wisdom to challenge God the Father. Therefore, we must accept by faith what God did and wait until He decides to explain Hisreason
before we try to understand why God did what he did. - Romans 9:10-12:
And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac; (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;) It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.
The phrase:of him
, in our sentence / verse, is used for God the Father. Our sentence tells us that God the Father created the plan calledelection
. And our sentence tells us that this plan had nothing to do with if the people didany good or evil
and it was to show usthat the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth
. Therefore,the elect
are the people who answer when Godcalleth
and come to God the way that God calls them to come. - Romans 9:16:
So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy
. The phrase:of him
, in our sentence / verse, is speaking about the person who wants to be saved. Many people believe that they can wait until their death bed to be saved. They believe that God has to save them when they arewilling
to be saved. But our sentence says otherwise. Others believe that God has to weigh their 'good works' against their 'bad works', using what they believe to be 'good' and 'bad'. Our sentence, with the prior sentences of the chapter, make it clear that these doctrines are lies which come from devils. - Romans 11:36:
For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever.
. The wordof
means: 'belongs to'. All things 'belong to'Jesus Christ
because He is theCreator
Romans 1:25; 1Peter 4:19). The wordthrough
means: 'enter one side of a barrier and continue traveling inside until you come out the other side'. Matthew 28:18 says:And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
Since He hasAll power
, we must enter into our ongoing personal relationship with Him and do our part to maintain that relationship until we come out on the other side and receive the blessing that we seek. In addition, the wordto
means: 'moving towards'. This means that all things are 'moving towards'the Lord
and He will end up controlling all things. When we put this all together, we see that we must do our part to maintain our ongoing personal relationship withthe Lord
if we want to have and keep anything. - 1Corinthians 1:30: The phrase:

Verses using with Him is with Christ
- Colossians 2:12
Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead
. This is the third Equivalent Section of a sentence which started in Colossians 2:10 and is an integral part of the message that Paul spent the entire chapter delivering. There are certain things that God does for us and there are certain things which require our willing and active participation. In this sentence Paul is telling us what God did as a result of our willingly being baptizedwith him (Christ)
. Paul then goes on and tells us other spiritual things that God did and how these things are supposed to result in changes within our behaviour. When we do somethingwith him (Christ)
, we are to go where Christ goes and do what Christ does, just like when we are with anyone else. - Colossians 2:13
And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
. This is the First Step of a three Step process which is in the sentence that goes through 2:15 and is added (by the sentence starting with anAnd
) to the sentence of the verse above. Thus, out sentence is telling us the 'other spiritual things' that God did because we werewith him (Christ)
. Please see the note for this sentence in the Book Study on Colossians for the details. The simple explanation of this phrase is that we are made more spiritually alive / caused to grow spiritually (quickened
) only when we aretogether with him (Christ)
